Author Problem with displaying includes in DW8

Hi All,
I'm curious to see if anyone else can either replicate this problem or if they
already have the problem (and possibly a fix?). It's a pretty irritating
problem if you use includes for header information like styles and page
structure so any ideas on this would be fantastic. These are .cfm includes.

First, to see if you can replicate this try the following:
1.Launch DW8
2. Open a site that has some file that uses includes, then open the file
itself. For my tests I always used a file that used an include containing some
graphics and a table or two.
3. Now, leave this file open and change sites (using the dropdown) to ANY
OTHER site.
4. Open any file in this new site.
5. Make a change to the file you just opened, save it and upload it. (DON'T
CLOSE IT)
6. Now change back to the original site we were working with.
7. Now go back to the original file we were working with (using the file tabs
near the top of the window)
8. If your like me, you should now see any include that WAS showing is no
longer showing.

I've also found that if you click the include tag in the code view and then
click "Edit" in the properties pane, an error will pop up saying that
"F:\sites\common\header.cfm contains an invalid path" even though the site
local root folder is F:\sites\mysite in the site settings... (These paths would
be different for other people of course)

The only thing that seemed to have fixed the problem once I triggered it was
to delete the site from DW8, reboot my system and then re-add the site (I think
I named it something different as well). But as soon as you happen to do
something that follows the steps above the problem comes right back. Any ideas?
