Bug in Report Designer - can anyone reproduce?

I think I've discovered a serious bug with the Report Designer, which
causes devenv.exe to take up 100% CPU and skyrocket in memory usage.
Here's how I got to it:

-Create a report with three parameters: The first two are dates (start
date and end date for a date range) and the third is a String
(employee name).
-Create a query to auto-populate both date fields.
-Create a query to fill the String parameter with values that are
dependant on the first two date parameters (return employees that were
active during the range of the two parameters, for instance).

This works okay when deployed, but in Preview Mode in Visual Studio,
after changing either of the Date parameters from their default value,
VS seems to get stuck in an infinite loop when attempting to
re-populate the third parameter with employee names.

Can anyone reproduce this?

Thanks,
