Creating deep copy using CreateDeepCopy method of an empty Section (without paragraphs or with one empty paragraph) adds empty string Span which leads to ArgumentOutOfRangeException. Workaround: clear the empty string Spans before measuring: foreach (Span span in sectionClone.EnumerateChildrenOfType<Span>().ToList()) { if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(span.Text)) { ((Paragraph)span.Parent).Inlines.Remove(span); } } Steps to reproduce: 1. Execute the following code-snippet: RadDocument document = new RadDocument(); Section section = new Section(); section.Blocks.Add(new Paragraph()); document.Sections.Add(section); RadDocument documentClone = (RadDocument)document.CreateDeepCopy(); Section sectionClone = (Section)section.CreateDeepCopy(); documentClone.Sections.Clear(); documentClone.Sections.Add(sectionClone); documentClone.EnsureDocumentMeasuredAndArranged(); 2. Set the documentClone to a RadRichTextBox instance to visualize it. 3. Try to click in the document. Observe: ArgumentOutOfRangeException is thrown.
