To reproduce: public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); this.radTextBox1.Text = "abcd"; this.radTextBox2.Text = "abcd"; this.radTextBoxControl1.Text = "abcd"; this.radTextBoxControl2.Text = "abcd"; this.radTextBox2.Multiline = true; this.radTextBoxControl2.Multiline = true; this.textBox1.Text= "abcd"; this.textBox2.Text= "abcd"; this.textBox2.Multiline = true; } Workaround: set the Multiline property to true in the Form.Load event. Second workaround: this.radTextBox2.TextBoxElement.TextBoxItem.Margin = new Padding(-2, 0, 0, 0);
