Workaround: handle the RadGanttView.GraphicalViewItemFormatting event:

    Private Sub GraphicalViewItemFormatting(sender As Object, e As GanttViewGraphicalViewItemFormattingEventArgs)
        Dim taskItem As GanttViewTaskItemElement = TryCast(e.ItemElement, GanttViewTaskItemElement)
        If taskItem IsNot Nothing Then
            taskItem.LeftLinkHandleElement.Opacity = 0
            taskItem.RightLinkHandleElement.Opacity = 0
        End If 
    End Sub

To reproduce: please refer to the attached sample project. Try to edit the title for one of the child tasks in the grid and click the 

Workaround:

private void radGanttView1_ItemChanged(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.GanttViewItemChangedEventArgs e)
{
    IEditableObject editebleObejct = e.Item.DataBoundItem as IEditableObject;
    if (editebleObejct != null)
    {
         editebleObejct.EndEdit();
    }
}

To reproduce: please refer to the attached sample project and follow the steps in the gif file.

Workaround: 

private void radGanttView1_ContextMenuOpening(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.GanttViewContextMenuOpeningEventArgs e)
{
    foreach (RadMenuItem item in e.Menu.Items)
    {
        if (item.Text == "&Delete")
        {
            item.MouseDown -= item_MouseDown;
            item.MouseDown += item_MouseDown;
        }
    }

    if (this.radGanttView1.SelectedItem.Parent == null)
    {

        }
    }
    this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.EndUpdate();
}

Workaround: create custom GanttViewTimelineItemElement with special layout arranging the elements in depending on their parent`s final size. The attached project features a possible implementation.

Workaround: rebind the ganttview after changing the parent.

How to reproduce:
1. Subscribe to radGanttView DoubleClick event.
2. Double click at any point on ragGanttView

        if (this.GanttViewElement.ProcessDoubleClick(e))

        {
            item(this, e);
        }
    }
}

Workaround:  set the data source to null before updating the object and after updating it set it to the object

Workaround: reset the data source

Currently when you set the TimelineRange property to TimeRange.Week displays two elements (the TopElement with weeks and the BottomElement with days). There are cases where users want to display single timeline - only weeks, days, quarters or years independent of the second timeline.  

If one subscribes to the TimelineItemElementCreating and provides custom item elements for the timeline these elements are not used and default item elements are used instead.

WORKAROUND:

Create a custom element provider:

public class CustomGanttViewTimelineElementProvider : GanttViewTimelineElementProvider
{
    public CustomGanttViewTimelineElementProvider(GanttViewGraphicalViewElement owner)
        : base(owner)
        { }

    public override IVirtualizedElement<GanttViewTimelineDataItem> CreateElement(GanttViewTimelineDataItem data, object context)
        {
            GanttViewTimelineItemElement element = this.OnItemElementCreating(data);

            if (element != null)
            {
                return element;
            }

            return new GanttViewTimelineItemElement(data, this.Owner);
        }
}

and assign it to the timeline container element provider:

this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.GraphicalViewElement.TimelineContainer.ElementProvider = new CustomGanttViewTimelineElementProvider(this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.GraphicalViewElement);

Workaround: 
 Sub New()

        InitializeComponent()

        Me.SetUpGantt()

        Me.RadGanttView1.GanttViewElement.TextViewElement.Scroller.AllowHiddenScrolling = True

        AddHandler Me.RadGanttView1.MouseUp, AddressOf Me.RadGanttView1_MouseUp
    End Sub

Private Sub RadGanttView1_MouseUp(sender As Object, e As MouseEventArgs)
        Dim location = e.Location

        Dim splitter As GanttViewViewsSplitterElement = TryCast(Me.RadGanttView1.ElementTree.GetElementAtPoint(e.Location), GanttViewViewsSplitterElement)
        If splitter IsNot Nothing Then
            Me.RadGanttView1.GanttViewElement.TextViewElement.Scroller.Scrollbar.Value = Me.RadGanttView1.GanttViewElement.GraphicalViewElement.VScrollBar.Value
        End If
    End Sub

The position of splitter should allow to be fixed while resizing the control. Users want to be able to set the splitter next to the last column of TextViewElement when resizing. 

Please look at the attached screenshot.

Workaround: you can replace the StackLayoutElement used in the GanttViewTimelineItemBottomStackElement with a DockLayoutPanel for example as follows:

Public Class CustomGanttViewTimelineItemElement
Inherits GanttViewTimelineItemElement

This event should be fired when a task is modified either by the graphical view or by the columns on the left side. In the arguments you should have access to the changed property.

To reproduce: 
1. Drag and drop RadGanttView on the form
2. Populate with tasks and set the ReadOnly property to true. 
3. Run the application and you will see that you can add links

Workaround: 
Disable adding of links:
void radGanttView2_LinkAdding(object sender, GanttViewLinkAddingEventArgs e)
{
    e.Cancel = true;
}
