When you change a method some updates will get generated and the window will know to check this method that changed, it does fit anymore so it's dropped.  I personally have never had this problem, because knowing this was MVC I always open a class browser on that method (it's either double click it or a right click menu, don't remember) if I want to change the code not to send the browsed message anymore *but* I still want to look at it after.
