RadWindow AutoSize calculates incorrect width/height due to duplicated content padding/border

When AutoSize is enabled on a RadWindow, the calculated width and height of the window can be larger than the actual content requires. The extra size appears as dead space around the content, on the right side for width and at the bottom for height, and is most noticeable when the content or its wrapping container has its own padding or border.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Add a RadWindow with AutoSize="true" (any AutoSizeBehaviors).
  • Set the window content either through a ContentTemplate with inline markup (for example a RadAjaxPanel), or through NavigateUrl pointing to a separate page.
  • Give the content, or its wrapping container, a horizontal and/or vertical padding or border via CSS.
  • Open the RadWindow and let it auto-size.

Result:
The RadWindow is wider and/or taller than necessary. The extra space is not evenly distributed and shows up as unexpected empty space next to or below the content.

Expected:
The RadWindow width and height should match the actual content size, with the same behavior as before the 2026 Q1 release.

Hi Andreas,

Thank you for reporting this issue and for the clear reproduction steps.

We have confirmed and fixed this regression. The root cause was that RadWindow's autosize calculation was, in certain scenarios, duplicating the content wrapper's padding and border when computing the required width and height, which resulted in extra empty space around the content.

The fix is planned to be officially included in the 2026 Q3 SP1 release, expected in October.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Regards,
Rumen
