RibbonView: Design-time issue with RibbonView wrapped in RibbonWindow with Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 and NoXAML binaries

Initially RibbonView gets rendered design-time. Trying to edit RibbonTab-s or add new one causes the whole control to dissapear in the designer. Clean and rebuild of the solution doesn't help -- cleaning the Shadow cache of Visual Studio Designer is the onliest thing that helps.

The issue reproduces with Class Library containing the Ribbon setup and IsWindowsThemeEnabled property of RibbonWIndow turned off (default value).

This behavior was originally reported over 10 years ago and has not received significant demand or follow-up from the community since then. This is why we plan to prioritize more impactful and widely requested improvements.

If this limitation is still affecting your scenario, please share additional context or use cases. This will help us better assess the severity and reconsider prioritization in the future. Thank you!
