Does anyone know if there are any outstanding requests on the Connect
site asking that the table designer in SSMS please stop automatically
changing varchar(10) into varchar(50) the first time you enter it? Am I
the only one this drives up a wall?

Argh, search first, then post.

Didn't SP2 come out after this? You'd think something like this would have
been easy to fix.
To be a bug in the Table Designer, I would say that that was quite
a harmless one. There are a lot more serious bugs in the table designer
with regards to creating change scripts, that I strongly recommend
that you do not use the designer at all.

This particular bug appears to be fixed in SQL 2008. The really serious
bugs aren't. But at least now the dangerous parts are disabled by
default.
