The compasses of the other ToolWindow appear.
Workaround - when RadPane is activated bring its ToolWindow to front. Hook to ActivePaneChanged event and implement the following handler; private void RadDocking_ActivePaneChanged(object sender, ActivePangeChangedEventArgs e) { if (e.NewPane != null && e.NewPane.IsFloating) { var toolWindow = e.NewPane.ParentOfType<ToolWindow>(); if (toolWindow != null) { toolWindow.BringToFront(); } } }
