Hi!

Well, I've had some answers from Microsoft and thought I might share them
with you... Although I don't think they'd appreciate it when I quote their
whole answer, I can extract the most interesting parts.

Note: I haven't tried these solutions (yet) so I'm not responsible for
anything that goes wrong. And NO, I will NOT share or send any files from MS
with you. Contact them yourself ;-)

"In fact, the two problems you reported to us before, namely, Database
diagrams disappearing and Listview reordering issue, have been passed on to
and well taken care of by the product team. Both are confirmed bugs."

"As to the first issue, it seems to be related to MDT2DF.dll. To fix this
issue, you can replace the newer version in SP6 with the old one from VS6
SP5 which allows for viewing or editing both old and new diagrams."

"As to the second issue, the root cause has been identified and a hot fix
has been worked out. If you need the fix, please let me know soon. Because
Visual Studio requires a license agreement for the hot fix, if you need it,
please help fill in the following hot fix request template:"

<template here>

"If you have any other concern, please do let us know. Your feedbacks are
well accepted and we appreciate it."

There ya go ;-)
