The observed behavior is caused by the ScrollViewer itself in Silverlight. When ScrollViewer is used as a container and it is clicked on a place that is not able to get the focus, the ScrollViewer itself gets it. In order to avoid ScrollViewer to take the focus IsTabStop should be set to False:

<ScrollViewer Height="122" IsTabStop="False">
       <telerik:RadWatermarkTextBox x:Name="RadWatermark"
                                   WatermarkContent="Click here!"
                                   AcceptsReturn="True"/>
</ScrollViewer>

And another thing, why is this even up for a vote?  It's a bug.

Yeah, we need this fix asap. The control should work the same no matter what it's placed in.

I agree, this should really be fixed.  The text box almost becomes unusable.

This is an issue when you accept return and have multiple lines.  The control only receives focus when you click on the first line or on text that is already there.  I would be nice if it receives focus if you click anywhere on the control.
