"Undo" operation in Visual studio 2010 making a mess out of code?

Question

My Visual Studio has been causing problems with "undo" of late, to a disastrous effect.

The pattern is such that

• I make some changes
• I try to undo change
• The change actually removes a large block of code and inserts/removes other parts of the code which often makes the code file after applying Undo totally worthless.
• Further attempts to Undo or Redo just messes up the code further.

This problem doesn't consistantly occur, but from time to time it happens suddenly.

I do C++ programming in Visual Studio. I don't know if it's any problem with the version.

What can cause this behavior in Visual Studio 2010, and how can I fix it?

As pointed out in the comments:

• It is closed-source, nobody can really go and debug the code for you.
• Your version is some years old, and problem may have been fixed in recent versions.
• There is a visual studio service pack 1 that you may need to install
