A weird bug in Visual Studio 2005

I met a weird bug that drove me crazy before I figured it out by a chance. When I open an existing project in Visual Studio, I normally open it from the start page. And the project will be openned automatically. But this doesn't apply to my recent reporting service project. When I click on the project name on the start page, the project would open, but when I open a report in report designer, the IDE failed to load it with hanging there for one minute.

I have re-installed my visual studio, SQL Server 2005 client component but that didn't help. Finally I got it working today by select menu Open Project, and then point to the project file. The bug is gone and report can be loaded into IDE successfully. What a frastracting bug!
