View Designer checks out the form

I have a form that I have checked into SourceSafe. In my Visual Studio
solution, when I right click and select "View Designer", the "Check out for
edit" dialog appears to prompt me to check out the form from SourceSafe. I
have not changed anything and simply want to open the designer to view it.
If I go ahead and check out the form and close it, saving changes, then do a
"Compare", all files are identical, including the .cs file, the .Designer.cs
file and the .resx file.

The form was not doing this before. It has several controls on it. I had
recently made some changes to the form - adding a TableLayoutPanel to arrange
the existing controls. I also set some of the properties (obviously),
including the Dock property of some of the controls within the
TableLayoutPanel cells.

It seems like the Forms designer is probably actually writing to one of the
files, but what it is writing is exactly the same as what's already there,
thus the "Compare" results in no changes. Is this possible? If so, why?

Is there a bug in the TableLayoutPanel or any other explanation for this
behavior?

Thanks so much for any help!!!
