BUG: Popfly does not handle Virtual Earth 3D mode well

When creating a mashup using the Virtual Earth block, switching to 3D mode while previewing results in a poor experience.

Steps to Repro

  1. Browse to thePopFly home page.
  2. ClickCreate a Mashup.
  3. Under Blocks, click Virtual Earth to add a Virtual Earth block to the mashup.
  4. Click Preview to preview the mashup.
  5. In the Virtual Earth controls box, click 3D to switch to 3D mode.
  6. Click Customize to go back to editing the mashup.

Expected Results

PopFly Explorer should switch back to the previous editing view in which you can see the Virtual Earth block.

Actual Results

The majority of the view still looks like it's in Virtual Earth 3D mode, except for a small portion of the Blocks pane.

The work around I found is to click the Back button on my browser after step 6. That seems pretty kludgy to me.
