RichTextBox: Bullet list with several levels is not viewed corectly in WordPad

RichTextBox: Bullet list with several levels is not viewed correctly in WordPad.

In Word, this works as expected. When the document is imported into RadRichTextBox, this works as well.

Hi Dennis,

You can download the source from your account: WPF Installation Download Product Files.

Once downloaded, check the "\Build\BuildInstructions\" folder.

Hi Dimitar,

We need access to the source code in order to investigate a fix. Can you please let me know how we can obtain the source code in order to proceed?

Hi Dennis,

Can you send me the changes for the fix so I can perform some tests on my side and see if we can safely apply it?

No meeting is required at this point.

Our current understanding is that this reported issues get voted by people so it is possible this issue will not get fixed, and we have a type of license that give us access to the source code for WPF UI.

Our intent is to correct the bug by modifying the source code, compile it and consume this modified build. If there is an appetite on your side, we could share the bugfix with your team and explain how it was fixed. This bug is a problem for us because we cannot mitigate the issue, and it is affecting the project we deliver.

Thank you for your understanding,

If there is a need, we can setup a meeting with members from my team and members from your team, if need be. Please take note most of our team is in EST – 5 time zone.

Unfortunately, Word is not our desired output viewer. We create reports using ActiveReports which are also unable to render the RTF as expected. I have contacted their support and it really comes down to the fact that the RTF exported from the RichTextBox is not standard.

I've tried HTML output as well and it is not perfect either.
