Error when deleting Precendence Constraint

I added a Script Task with a success precedence contraint from the step before. Then I decided I didn't need it. I can alter the constraint type, I can change the name, I can alter the properties of the step itself, but when I try to delete either of them, I get the message:

error said:
Object reference is not an instance of an object

Suddenly I can't even get into the script designer for the task unless I go through Package Explorer and double-click the name of the step. Every time I try to right click -> Edit or delete (either keyboard delete or right-click -> delete), I get this error for both the step and the constraint leading to it.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? It's like the object is there, but not there...

Thanks,

Okay, this is going to sound weird, but closing the entire project and re-opening the package allowed me to delete the constraint and the task.

Hmm. Must have been something in the cache.
