To reproduce: please run the sample project and follow the steps illustrated in the attached gif file. This shows how I’m attempting to add children to a root task. Upon adding a child task I am unable to scroll down to see the rest of the pre-existent root tasks until I first collapse and expand any visible root or child task.

Workaround:

        public RadForm2()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            this.radGanttView1.ItemAdded += radGanttView1_ItemAdded;  
        }
       
        private void radGanttView1_ItemAdded(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.GanttViewItemAddedEventArgs e)
        {
            item = e.Item;
        }

        GanttViewDataItem item;
        
        private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.InvalidateMeasure(true);
            this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.UpdateLayout();

            this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.GraphicalViewElement.Scroller.ScrollToItem(item);
        }

To reproduce: run the sample project and try to move a task.

Workaround:

 Timer timer = new Timer();

        private void DragDropService_Stopped(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            timer = new Timer();
            timer.Interval = 300;
            timer.Tick += timer_Tick;
            
        }

        private void timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            timer.Stop();
            data.Tables["Tasks"].Clear();
        }

Workaround 2:

        private void radGanttView1_ItemElementCreating(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.GanttViewItemElementCreatingEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Item.Items.Count == 0 && e.ViewElement is GanttViewGraphicalViewElement)
            {
                e.ItemElement = new MyGanttViewTaskItemElement(e.ViewElement as GanttViewGraphicalViewElement); 
            }
        }

        public class MyGanttViewTaskItemElement : GanttViewTaskItemElement
        {
            public MyGanttViewTaskItemElement(GanttViewGraphicalViewElement ganttViewBaseViewElement) : base(ganttViewBaseViewElement)
            {
            }
            
            protected override Type ThemeEffectiveType
            {
                get
                {
                    return typeof(GanttViewTaskItemElement);
                }
            }

            public override void Detach()
            {
                var obj = this.Data;
                this.Data.SuspendPropertyNotifications();
                base.Detach();
                obj.ResumePropertyNotifications(); 
            }

            public override void Synchronize()
            {
                DataSet ds = this.Data.GanttViewElement.DataSource as DataSet;
                if (ds != null && this.Data != null)
                {
                    DataRowView rowView = this.Data.DataBoundItem as DataRowView;
                    if (rowView != null && !RowExists(rowView.Row))//!ds.Tables[0].Rows.Contains(rowView.Row))
                    {
                        return;
                    }
                }
                base.Synchronize();
            }

            private bool RowExists(DataRow dataRow)
            {
                DataSet ds = this.Data.GanttViewElement.DataSource as DataSet;
                bool res = false;
                foreach (DataRow r in ds.Tables[0].Rows)
                {
                    if (r.Equals(dataRow))
                    {
                        return true;
                    }
                }
                return res;
            }
        }

To reproduce: run the sample project and scroll to the end of the view. You will notice that the tasks are not properly aligned. You can increase the GraphicalViewElement.OnePixelTime in order to make the alignment even worse.

Workaround: Adjust the GraphicalViewElement.OnePixelTime in order to obtain the correct alignment.

To reproduce:
1) Open the Demo application >> Settings example.
2) Select a task and activate the editor for it.
3) Delete the task by clicking the button above.

It may be necessary to repeat the steps several times. The error is not reproduced immediately. 

Columns can automatically fill the entire width of the GanttViewTextViewElement . Just set the AutoSizeColumnsMode property  to Fill.

To reproduce:
- Set the range to lest than one day.
- Set the TimelineRange to DayHalfHours

Workaround: 
Make sure that the range is at least one day. 

Even though you can't  modify the tasks you can see the link handles which are usually used for linking different tasks. They shouldn't be displayed when the RadGanttView is in read-only mode.

Workaround: handle the GraphicalViewItemFormatting event and manually hide the link handles: 

        private void radGanttView1_GraphicalViewItemFormatting(object sender, GanttViewGraphicalViewItemFormattingEventArgs e)
        {
            GanttGraphicalViewBaseItemElement itemElement = e.ItemElement as GanttGraphicalViewBaseItemElement;
            if (itemElement != null)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(itemElement.LeftLinkHandleElement.Visibility);
                itemElement.LeftLinkHandleElement.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed;
                itemElement.LeftLinkHandleElement.PropertyChanged -= LeftLinkHandleElement_PropertyChanged;
                itemElement.LeftLinkHandleElement.PropertyChanged += LeftLinkHandleElement_PropertyChanged;
                itemElement.RightLinkHandleElement.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed;
                itemElement.RightLinkHandleElement.PropertyChanged -= LeftLinkHandleElement_PropertyChanged;
                itemElement.RightLinkHandleElement.PropertyChanged += LeftLinkHandleElement_PropertyChanged;
            }
        }

        private void LeftLinkHandleElement_PropertyChanged(object sender, PropertyChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            GanttViewTaskLinkHandleElement linkHanle = sender as GanttViewTaskLinkHandleElement;
            if (e.PropertyName == "Visibility" && linkHanle.Visibility == Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Visible)
            {
                linkHanle.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed;
            }
        }

The spin editor has a default minimum and maximum (0,100)

Workaround:
private void GanttViewElement_EditorInitialized(object sender, GanttViewItemEditorInitializedEventArgs e)
{
    var editor = e.Editor as BaseSpinEditor;
    if (editor != null)
    {
        editor.MaxValue = int.MaxValue;
        var value = e.Item[radGanttView1.CurrentColumn];
        editor.Value = value;
    }
}

To reproduce: have a look at the attached gif file and sample project.

Workaround:

            this.radGanttView1.CursorChanged += radGanttView1_CursorChanged;
            this.radGanttView1.MouseMove += radGanttView1_MouseMove;

        private void radGanttView1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            GanttViewGraphicalViewElement view = this.radGanttView1.ElementTree.GetElementAtPoint(e.Location).FindAncestor<GanttViewGraphicalViewElement>();
            Console.WriteLine(this.radGanttView1.ElementTree.GetElementAtPoint(e.Location));
            if (view != null)
                isOverGraphicalView = true;
            else
                isOverGraphicalView = false;
        }

        bool isOverGraphicalView = false;

        private void radGanttView1_CursorChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (isOverGraphicalView)
            {
                this.radGanttView1.CursorChanged -= radGanttView1_CursorChanged;
                this.radGanttView1.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
                this.radGanttView1.CursorChanged += radGanttView1_CursorChanged;
            }
        }

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

How to reproduce: 
  this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.GraphicalViewElement.TimelineRange = Telerik.WinControls.UI.TimeRange.DayQuarterHours;
  this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.GraphicalViewElement.AutomaticTimelineTimeRange = true;
  this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.GraphicalViewElement.OnePixelTime = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 15);

Workaround: at the moment the Gantt control does not support an automatic timeline range for day quarter hours. The TimeRange.DayQuarterHours is similar to the half days and they should be handled the same way when in automatic timeline. If possible TimeRange.DayHalfHours 
this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.GraphicalViewElement.TimelineRange = Telerik.WinControls.UI.TimeRange.DayHalfHours;

To reproduce: populate RadGanttView with data and hide some of the columns in a button's Click event: 

    Private Sub RadButton1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles RadButton1.Click
        Me.RadGanttView1.GanttViewElement.Columns(0).Visible = False
    End Sub

The column is not hidden until you move the splitter.

Workaround:

    Private Sub RadButton1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles RadButton1.Click
        Me.RadGanttView1.GanttViewElement.Columns(0).Visible = False

        Me.RadGanttView1.GanttViewElement.InvalidateMeasure(True)
        Me.RadGanttView1.GanttViewElement.UpdateLayout()
    End Sub

To reproduce:

        public RadForm1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            DataSet ds = new DataSet();
            DataTable dt = new DataTable();
            dt.TableName = "Tasks";
            dt.Columns.Add("Id");
            dt.Columns.Add("ParentID");
            dt.Columns.Add("Title");
            dt.Columns.Add("Start", typeof(DateTime));          
            dt.Columns.Add("End", typeof(DateTime));
            dt.Rows.Add("1", "", "Item1", new DateTime(2018,03,16), new DateTime(2018,03,20));
            dt.Rows.Add("2", "1", "child", new DateTime(2018,03,16), new DateTime(2018,03,17));
            dt.Rows.Add("3", "", "Item2", new DateTime(2018,03,16), new DateTime(2018,03,20));
            ds.Tables.Add(dt);

            this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.TaskDataMember = "Tasks";
            this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.ChildMember = "Id";
            this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.ParentMember = "ParentId";
            this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.TitleMember = "Title";
            this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.StartMember = "Start";
            this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.EndMember = "End";
            this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.DataSource = ds;
            this.radGanttView1.Columns.Add("Start");
            this.radGanttView1.Columns.Add("End");            
            this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.GraphicalViewElement.TimelineStart = new DateTime(2018,03,10);
            this.radGanttView1.GanttViewElement.GraphicalViewElement.TimelineEnd = new DateTime(2018,03,31);
            //"child" item is readonly
            radGanttView1.Items[0].ReadOnly = true; 
        }

Workaround:

        public class CustomBaseGanttViewBehavior : BaseGanttViewBehavior
        {
            protected override void ProcessMouseDownOnTaskElement(GanttGraphicalViewBaseTaskElement element, MouseEventArgs e)
            {
                GanttGraphicalViewBaseItemElement taskItem = element.Parent as GanttGraphicalViewBaseItemElement;
                
                if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left && !taskItem.Data.ReadOnly)
                {
                    base.ProcessMouseDownOnTaskElement(element, e);

    }
}
class MyGanttElement : RadGanttViewElement
{
    
    protected override void InitializeFields()
    {
        base.InitializeFields();
        ThemeRole = "RadGanttViewElement";
    }

    protected override bool EndEditCore(bool commitChanges)
    {
        if (this.ActiveEditor.Value == null)
        {
            GanttViewDataItem item = this.SelectedItem as GanttViewDataItem;
            this.ActiveEditor.Value = item[CurrentColumn];
           
        }
        return base.EndEditCore(commitChanges);
    }
}

Workaround: In the case of DateTime columns one can handle the PrintElementFormating event and change text of the print elements with the required format string
private void RadGanttView1_PrintElementFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.GanttViewPrintElementFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.PrintContext == GanttViewPrintElementContext.DataCell)
    {
        DateTime date;
        if (e.PrintElement.DrawText && DateTime.TryParse(e.PrintElement.Text, out date))
        {
            e.PrintElement.Text = string.Format("{0:D}", date);
        }
    }
}

Add functionality to sort tasks alphabetically, by date, by progress.

To reproduce: click (mouse down) on a task but then release the mouse button off the task. It then stays selected even when I click on other tasks. You can repeat this over and over and end up with every task as "selected" as shown in the video.

Workaround:

 AddHandler Me.RadGanttView1.GraphicalViewItemFormatting, AddressOf GraphicalViewItemFormatting

Private Sub GraphicalViewItemFormatting(sender As Object, e As GanttViewGraphicalViewItemFormattingEventArgs)
    Dim taskItem As GanttViewTaskItemElement = TryCast(e.ItemElement, GanttViewTaskItemElement)
    If taskItem IsNot Nothing AndAlso taskItem.TaskElement.VisualState.Contains(".MouseDown") AndAlso Not taskItem.Selected Then
        taskItem.TaskElement.IsMouseDown = False
    End If
End Sub
