Steps to reproduce: 1. Add RadGridView and populate with data 2. Show the context menu many times. Sometimes the popup is not shown correctly. If you click again, the popup is visible correctly. Workaround: Set the AnimationEnabled property to false or the AnimationType property to None. Here is the code snippet how can be achieve it: //Set the AnimationEnabled to false void radGridView1_ContextMenuOpening(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.ContextMenuOpeningEventArgs e) { RadDropDownMenu contextMenu = e.ContextMenu as RadDropDownMenu; contextMenu.AnimationEnabled = false; } //Set the AnimationType to None void radGridView1_ContextMenuOpening(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.ContextMenuOpeningEventArgs e) { RadDropDownMenu contextMenu = e.ContextMenu as RadDropDownMenu; contextMenu.AnimationType = PopupAnimationTypes.None; }
