VS 2005 bug in cut & paste controls?

I selected 3 controls that were in a Frame control, I "Cut" the controls and
then pasted them outside the frame on the form. Now, when I double on the
control (hoping to load the default event for that control WITH my source
code in the event) I get a new event with the "_1" appended to the event
sub.

Two work arounds:
1. copy all my event code into the new "_1" equivalent events handlers
2. or create the event handler _1 rename it to my original copy the code
from my original into the new one and delete the original.

This seems like a pretty serious bug unless it is a "feature" which I find
hard to comprehend this being a "feature"? Cut & Pasting a control should
NOT disassociate all existing event references since the control name has
NOT changed.

Click to expand...

Or you could just go to the original copy and add Handles <eventname>
at the end of the declaration.
 
yes that is another option, so this is a known bug with VS 2005? Or is this
deemed "as designed feature"?

I hope we actually get some service pak updates for VS 2005 this time --
never saw any for VS 2003 and it needed them badly!
