resx file will not stay checked-out

I have noticed that resx files will not stay checked-out.

We are using a Windows Forms front end.

We are using a WCF layer.

We are using TFS 2012 with local workspaces.

We are using Visual Studio 2012 on Windows 7.

When I start editing a Windows Form, it works as expected, I edit a file, it checks-out and stays checked out. But, the associated RESX file keeps checking itself back in. Then when I edit the design surface, or do something else that affects the RESX file, the RESX prompts for checkout (because it has checked itself back in).

Is this normal behaviour for TFS?

Please advise.

Thanks.
