Does anyone else have this problem?

After I have been in the IDE for about 10mins, I can no longer access the property grid of whatever I am looking at.

I have the property grid on AutoHide, and when I click on it, it refuses to display. It also won't display if I right click on whatever I am working on and select Properties from the context menu.

It will only come back (and only for a short time) if I close down the IDE and re-open it.

Doesn't happen with any of the other Auto Hide windows.

Microsoft Development Environment 2002 Version 7.0.9466
Microsoft .Net Framework 1.0 Version 1.0.3705

There should be a tab on the right, you'll need to hold the mouse over it and when it slides out, hit the pin. If it doesn't work, find the toolbar settings in the registry and delete it, it should reset everything back the way it was
 
Thanks for responding AndreRyan.
I don't get to see the pin. My registry knowledge is limited, and I know that you don't go poking about in the registry if you don't know much about it.
I guess the properties aren't that important. ;)

This is a known bug in visual studio, which only happens with the propertygrid and only when it's hidden. Are you using vs.net 2002? Maybe they fixed it for 2003.
