We are experiencing a serious problem with custom server controls in the web
designer of VS2008. When we perform an action within the designer that causes
the markup to be updated, there are many   characters and spaces inserted in
between the tags of the server control. For example:

<cc1:TextField ID="TextField1">   </TextField>

As we continue to work within the designer, the  's quickly multiply until
there are hundreds and then thousands of them. If we insert some text between
the tags, the text is also duplicated. I have seen posts on other forums
about this problem but no solution. Are others experiencing this problem and,
if so, is there a workaround or solution?
