SQL Server Management Studio 2005 "is Busy" message when trying to save a database diagram

Hi,

I like to add new tables and their relationships with each other using the Database Diagram.  I create a new database diagram, and then add new tables to the diagram – also drawing up their relationships with each other.  When I click Save, SSMS seems to hang for a very long time with the Save icon flashing in the bottom right corner.  When I try to do something in SSMS, I get a popup message stating "is Busy".

I work on a fast-enough computer, and saving the changes I made to the diagram pane (even if I just added one new table), sometimes literally takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete.

While this is happening, a "Delay Notification" icon appears in my System Tray with the same "is Busy" message.  The complete message is the following:

"

is Busy

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio is waiting for an internal operation to complete.  If you regularly encounter this delay during normal usage, please report this problem to Microsoft

"

Has anybody else also encountered this, and is there any way to prevent it - other than not using Diagrams to do this?

Cheers
