Steps to reproduce the behavior

Start Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio .NET.
On the View menu, point to Other Windows, and then click Macro Explorer.
In the Macro Explorer window, expand MyMacros, right-click the Module1 module, and then click Edit.
In the Project Explorer pane, double-click on the EnvironmentEvents.vb file.

Replace the code in the EnvironmentEvents.vb file with the following code:

Option Strict Off
Option Explicit Off
Imports EnvDTE
Imports System.Diagnostics
Imports System.ContextStaticAttribute

Public Module EnvironmentEvents
    Public WithEvents TextEditorEvents As EnvDTE.TextEditorEvents

    Public Sub DTEEvents_OnMacrosRuntimeReset() Handles DTEEvents.OnMacrosRuntimeReset
        TextEditorEvents = DTE.Events.TextEditorEvents
        MsgBox("Hello!")
    End Sub
#Region "Automatically generated code, do not modify"
    'Automatically generated code, do not modify
    'Event Sources Begin
    <System.ContextStaticAttribute()> Public WithEvents DTEEvents As EnvDTE.DTEEvents
    <System.ContextStaticAttribute()> Public WithEvents DocumentEvents As EnvDTE.DocumentEvents
    <System.ContextStaticAttribute()> Public WithEvents WindowEvents As EnvDTE.WindowEvents
    <System.ContextStaticAttribute()> Public WithEvents TaskListEvents As EnvDTE.TaskListEvents
    <System.ContextStaticAttribute()> Public WithEvents FindEvents As EnvDTE.FindEvents
    <System.ContextStaticAttribute()> Public WithEvents OutputWindowEvents As EnvDTE.OutputWindowEvents
    <System.ContextStaticAttribute()> Public WithEvents SelectionEvents As EnvDTE.SelectionEvents
    <System.ContextStaticAttribute()> Public WithEvents BuildEvents As EnvDTE.BuildEvents
    <System.ContextStaticAttribute()> Public WithEvents SolutionEvents As EnvDTE.SolutionEvents
    <System.ContextStaticAttribute()> Public WithEvents SolutionItemsEvents As EnvDTE.ProjectItemsEvents
    <System.ContextStaticAttribute()> Public WithEvents MiscFilesEvents As EnvDTE.ProjectItemsEvents
    <System.ContextStaticAttribute()> Public WithEvents DebuggerEvents As EnvDTE.DebuggerEvents
    'Event Sources End
    'End of automatically generated code
#End Region
End Module

Save the MyMacros macro project.
In the Macro Explorer pane, right-click MyMacros project, and then click Unload Macro Project.

Note If the MyMacros project is set as the recording project, create a new macro project, and then set it as the recording project.
In the Macro Explorer pane, right-click Macros, and then click Load Macro Project to load the MyMacros project. A warning message is shown.
In the Warning message box, click Enable event handling code, and then click OK.
Perform step 7. The OnMacrosRuntimeReset event is fired two times. Click OK two times to close the two message boxes that display.
Perform step 8 and step 9. Notice that the OnMacrosRuntimeReset event is not fired.
