Why is my Edit WCF Configuration option missing?

I created WCF RIA services. It added app.config by default. But there is no option of Edit WCF Configuration that appears when you create simple WCF services. What am i missing? How do i get that GUI tool? Do i have to write all that xml and remember for the next time when i use it?

Thanks in advance :)

This is a known bug - at times, you have to select it from the Tools menu once and close it again right away, before it becomes available as a right-click context-menu option on your app.config file.

I would have hoped this would have been fixed in Visual Studio 2010 - but it's still there...
