A hotfix is now available for issues most commonly described as “I make changes in Design view but Source does not get updated” and “After certain actions designer inserts a lot of in the page”.
This hotfix can be downloaded from:

Please do not be surprised that update is named Office2007-xxxxx since designer (aka Microsoft Visual Studio Web Authoring Component) uses Office 2007 components, similar to Expression Web and SharePoint Designer 2007 and hence update comes as Office 2007 update.
The update addresses the following Connect bugs:
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=362593: DropDownList ListItem Collection Editor doesn’t save changes to aspx source file when DropDownList is inside a container

http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=404359: VISUAL STUDIO 2008 SP 1 still has HTML editor bug where it corrupts aspx/html code.
As well as issues with DevExpress controls not persisting changes to HTML and various related issues reported in forums.
Thanks
