The hovered state of the items of RadRating is not cleared when the Precision property of the rating is set to Item. A possible workaround is adding the following script just before the closing </form> tag: var $T = Telerik.Web.UI; $T.RadRating.prototype._mouseOut = function (e, mouseMove) { var targetElement = e.target || e.srcElement; if (this._ulWrapper === targetElement || $telerik.$(this._ulWrapper).has(targetElement).length > 0) { if (!mouseMove && $T.RatingPrecision.Item != this._precision) this._hoveredItem = null; } this._attachDocumentHandlers(false); this._createPartElements(false); this._storeStartCoords(false); this._spanSize = null; this._hoveredItem = null; this._clearOverState(); if (this._clearSelectedStateOnHover) this._synchronizeUIWithValue(this._value); }
