Pressing Delete at the end of a paragraph leads to merging the content of the current paragraph with the next block. However, when the deleted paragraph contains a single space, the layout stops updating after pressing Delete. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create two tables with paragraph between them 2. Add a space to the paragraph 3. Press Delete (when the caret is just after the space) Observed: The layout is not updated after this and further modifications Workaround: Delete the space before deleting the paragraph: private void RadRichTextBox_CommandExecuting(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Documents.RichTextBoxCommands.CommandExecutingEventArgs e) { if (e.Command is DeleteCommand && this.radRichTextBox.Document.Selection.IsEmpty) { Paragraph currentParagraph = this.radRichTextBox.Document.CaretPosition.GetCurrentParagraphBox().AssociatedParagraph; if (currentParagraph.Inlines.Count==1 && string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace((currentParagraph.Inlines.First as Span).Text)) { this.radRichTextBox.Delete(true); } } }
