Stack Overflow really isn't meant as a substitute as accurate and valid bug reports for software...so I would recommend that you look into filing a bug report with the creators of Visual Studio and get this addressed.
If you were to ask a question about your current setup today, you might be asked why you're forced to use such an old version of VS, and whether or not you can upgrade. If you ask this kind of question, you should be prepared to get the answer, "This is fixed in a newer version, you should upgrade." If you aren't, official support channels are your best bet.
