Workaround for saving / editing a VSTS test case

I have an issue with VSTS manual test cases. When I try to edit one, I got an error message as follows:

An element with the same key already exists in the dictionary

I only have this issue if a test step contains parameters. After refreshing the page and reopening the test case, the color code is black and it doesn't display the Save button. Also, the dropdown of the ... is empty.

Existing tests are fine, running them is also possible. Working with bugs, user stories and tasks is fine.

Screenshots can be found here

Is there a way to workaround this?

This is caused by the parameter name "@length", remove it or rename it to others like "@length1" would works.

This seems to be a bug with VSTS, I have help you created a feedback on MS Connect Page, refer to this link for details: "An element with the same key already exists in the dictionary" error occurs when save a test case contains a parameter named as "length".
