ElementName binding is not working in RadRibbonBackstage.

Reason for closing: The ElementName binding in Adorner is not supported and as the RadRibbonBackstage is Adorner it is not working there as well. Due to that framework limitation we cannot fix this issue and we will change the status of the feed back item to declined. You can find more information about the Adorner and its limitation in this article ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms743737%28v=vs.110%29.aspx ).

The constructor of the GroupVariantCollection is internal

Reason for declining: The RadRibbonGroup uses the GroupVariantCollection internally and as there is no public property of type GroupVariantCollection there is not need for the constructor to be exposed. Also if the users wants to bind the Variants of the RadRibbonGroups they can use the VariantsSource property which is of type IEnumebable<GroupVariant>.

typically users consider keys like Shift,Ctrl,ALT to be a single key even though they are on the keyboard left and right.

The RibbonGroup displays a white border on mouse over around its Image element when the group is in collapsed state when a Windows8 theme is applied.

Setting Button, TextBlock, TextBox or any other UI Element as a Header of RadRibbonGroup produces a runtime exception: The Element is Already Child of another visual.

RibbonView: RadRibbonButton has inconsistent pressed/focused state

The styling in the controls vary when the mouse is down.
- RadRibbonButton gets a black border.
- RadRibbonSplitButton gets an dark orange border (when clicking the dropdown button)
- RadRibbonDropDownButton gets a grey line at the top

On mouse over
- RadRibbonButton and RadRibbonDropDownButton have a dark orange border with a white inner border
- RadRibbonSplitButton (dropdown button) does not get the white inner border

Reason for declination: 
Currently there is no way to unify the pressed state of these buttons because there is no Pressed state of RadSplitButton (the toggle and button parts has their own press visualization that comes from the default style of the corresponding buttons). 

The RibbonView ContextualGroup is not redrawn when a new RadTabItem is added dynamically and the ContextualGroup is currently active.

A "System.ArgumentException: Requested value was not found." is throws if we set AccessText containing more than one char in for the Backstage.

When the Ribbon is hosted in a RibbonWindow, the ContextualGroups are rended differently Q3 2013 release.

The RibbonSplitButtons Text is not visible when its IsToggle property is set to true and Windows8 theme is used.

Expose an IsActiveChanged event for the ContextualGroups

Will be available in Q1 2015 Release.

If you have a RadRibbonTab with two RadRibbonGroups and the RadRibbonView is minimized, the groups will be collapsed even if you set their default variant to Large.

Will be available in Q1 2015 Release.

When you click on a control in the DropDownContent of a RibbonSplitButton, a click is registered in the underlying control (behind the DropDownContent).

Expose a property through which the TabContentPopup IsOpen state can be programatically controlled. This feature should allow the implementation of a scenario where the TabContentPopup is opened when hovering over the tab.

Declined: The current API of the RadRibbonView allow the users to control MinimizedPopup. A sample application is attached demonstrating how the Popup can me controlled

If the height of the screen is smaller than needed the App_menu is clipped in the bottom. There are 5-10 px wrong in calculation

Currently, Title and Description properties are typed to string and the control template uses TextBlock controls to display these properties, I think that only typing these properties to "object", showing them with  ContentPresenters and adding a pair of DataTemplate Dependency properties (TitleTemplate and DescriptionTemplate) would offer an extremely flexibility to this useful control.

Declined: If the users need to transfer object data to the ScreenTip they could use the Tag property(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.frameworkelement.tag%28v=vs.110%29.aspx)  and bind its value to an custom Implicit style targeting the ScreenTip. 

The RadRibbonView executes its KeyTips by executing the Command of the Button and the Invoking its peer. This behavior is inconsistent when a user interacts with the button ( first the Click/Toggle is fired then the command is executed).

Support easy customization of screen tip duration.
