Steven, this is a known bug with the Flash IDE. I've had the same problem with gProject, Service Browser, and NetConnection Debugger panels.
Grant has information and a fix on his blog... http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2006/11/flash_opens_the_1.html Bryan > Wow. This is awful. Just insanely badly bugged. Flash MX2004 AND > Flash 8.
