The problem can be reproduced only when the previously focused element is in ToolBar or RadToolBar. It is not reproducible in the default scenario. Should be resolved with lib version 2015.2.713.
GridViewColumnGroup.HeaderTemplate is not respected in Windows8, Windows8Touch and ExpressionDark themes. Instead, the name of the column group is its content. This is reproducible with both StyleManager and Implicit Styles. Should be resolved with lib version 2015.2.720.
The column group headers are not displayed when the DisplayIndex property of the GridViewColumn objects is set before the control is loaded.
To work this around, you can set the DisplayIndex of the columns after the RadGridView is loaded.
