Resource designer is so broken

[severity:It's more difficult to complete my work]

  1. Editor doesn't render - completely blank. Workaround is to resize the window. I feel like this started happening with v17 preview 5.
  2. Access modifier resets to internal in UI instead of using the value from the Resources.designer.cs and if you don't notice and make a resource change then the tool (incorrectly) applies internal to resources in the Resources.designer.cs file. Work around is to replace internal with public after every change. This has been happening for all previews of v17 (and possibly vs2019 too).
  3. On modification, the tool that regenerates the Resources.designer.cs corrupts the namespace - replaces the parts after the project default namespace with the relative physical folder path (removing path separators) - lots of dots are inserted too - I assume for traversing parent paths ("/.. /.."). As a workaround I have to fix the namepace after every change. This has been happening for all previews of v17 (and possibly vs2019 too).

I have to make lots of resource string changes and this is costing plenty of my time. Can someone please put some priority into addressing these concerns please?
