I usually do my Android layouts by hand, so I can't speak directly about
the designer, however, one thought does come to mind.

The smallest-width qualifier wasn't introduced until Android 3.2 (API Level
13). It will be ignored by earlier versions of Android. I wonder if maybe
your targeted version is < Android 3.2, which is causing the Designer some
problems? Again, just a theory, but might be worth checking out.
