WPF designer not showing anymore

I have a very strange problem with my Visual Studio 2010 SP1 installation on a 64 bit system. When I double click a xaml file in the solution explorer, nothing happens. The Designer doesn't show. However, when I CTRL + Tab, the file appears in the "Active Files" list.
Anyone has encountered this before? Is this a know bug? I couldn't find anything on the net...

Just to finish this question:
After some weeks it started working again. Never found out why or why it stopped working...

Right click the xaml file, select Open With.... Which is the default editor? It should be Windows Presentation Foundation Designer.

I would check that the designer isnt simply being hidden away. Try (Menu) View > Designer or Shift+F7
