I wonder if that first paragraph about binding applies to your problem. Try what is suggested there and see if it helps.
I think that helped. The source control operations seem a bit faster too. Thank you very much.
I have a follow up question. Is there a way to change the default lock from "unchanged - keep any existing lock" to "check out - prevent other users from checking out and checking in"? I could not find any option to do that. I see lock options when I check out a file using right click menu option (unchanged is always preselected) but when I simply start typing and click ok to allow a check out I do not get prompted for the lock type. I'm assuming it's the "Unchanged - Keep any existing lock"
Champion Level 3Step 1 here mentions your edit/right click step, I don't see a way to change the lock option.
You can go here and add that idea as a feature request
