The manually set height of RadWindow is not persisted after PostBack if the control's ShowContentDuringLoad property is set to False. The issue is reproducible in IE9.

Workaround: Set ShowContentDuringLoad="true" when the current browser is IE:
<button onclick="OpenRadWindow();return false;" class="Button" style="width: 190px"> Show popup window</button>
<script type="text/javascript">
function OpenRadWindow() {
var oManager = GetRadWindowManager();
oWind = oManager.getWindowByName("RadWindow1");
//workaround
if ($telerik.isIE)
oWind.add_pageLoad(pageLoaded);
oWind.show();
}
function pageLoaded(oWind) {
oWind.set_showContentDuringLoad(true);
}
</script>
