Hi everyone,
I’m suffering a queer behaviour when I use BIDS. Concretely, when I open a dtsx from my project (it has 10 packages) many times Sequence Container and Data Flow tasks are invisible. I mean, its lines are not visible at all whereas its titles are. I mean, what you see is just a white box…
Then, I’m gonna Data Flow layer and I have to do double-clik over the tasks and are visible but on Control Flow I don’t see how to solve.
Curiously in our development and production server such behaviour doesn’t happen (we are accessing by mean Terminal Server from our workstations)
How odd!. Everything is fine except this.
I want to remark you that such project has been copied from the server, this is, these packages are been built on the server
Thanks for your thougts or ideas,

strange, very strange (BIDS)

Enric,
Its nothing to do with the packages. its just the bloated VS shell that BIDS sits in gobbling up your resources (probably).
Don't worry - your package is unaffected.

I have this behaviour sometimes too.. but it comes and goes....
its a bug in the way SSIS renders (draws) the diagrams...
When it happens to me I just try dragging a few tasks around the design surface until things show up again... then have to painstakingly rearrange everything so it looks correct...
Nothing is missing, nothing has been deleted.. its just that things are not being redrawn correctly.
Maybe its got something to do wih resources on our PC's.. I have 1Gb Ram .. and a pretty big graphics card.. nvidia.. Quadro... I dunno.. I can find out more for you if you think it helps..
Maybe on the other servers you have they have more RAM

PJFINTRAX,
Well in a fact it doesn't happen in our server. 64-bit with 32 Gb of RAM...
