To reproduce: Add RadAutoCompleteBox Add AutoCompleteItems Change the theme to Office2010BlueTheme, Office2010BlackTheme, Office2007SilverTheme or Office2010SilverTheme. Write something - looks good Autocomplete a word and now write something - text is a few pixels lower. Workaround: void radAutoCompleteBox2_TextBlockFormatting(object sender, TextBlockFormattingEventArgs e) { TokenizedTextBlockElement token = e.TextBlock as TokenizedTextBlockElement; if (token != null) { token.Margin = new Padding(0, 1, 1, 1); } }
