The default merging algorith merges adjacent cells with the same value. An option for preventing cells merging despite their value, should be provided.

I have a RadGridView and bind its ItemsSource and its SelectedItem to properties of the ViewModel (DataContext). I use a ViewModel for the grid items with overridden Equals and GetHashCode. When the ViewModel is created, the property bound to ItemsSource is filled and the property bound to SelectedItem is set to an item that is equal to one of the items in the collection (but not reference equal).

Problem:
When the GridView is displayed, no item is selected.

Note: I already reported this issue before: https://feedback.telerik.com/Project/143/Feedback/Details/227302-binding-itemssource-and-selecteditem-of-gridview-changes-selecteditem
but now I have managed to modify the sample project so that the problem can be reproduced. The difference to the original sample project is that Equals and GetHashCode of the Club ViewModel are overridden and the selected item is not reference equal to the item in the collection.

The issue can be solved with the help of the new added IsExpandableBinding property.

Currently, the default value of the property is true, so the presented of items in the hierarchy collection is not taken into account. This results in having visible hierarchy buttons for rows that do not have hierarchical subitems.

When RadGridView is bound to a ListCollectionView and the SortDescriptions are set, columns with a SortMemberPath different from the DataMemberBinding don't display the sort indicator in the column header.

In the attached example the "Status" and "ETA" columns are sorted. "Status" header does not display the indicator due to the SortMemberPath being different from the DataMemberBinding.

The unconfirmed inputs of filter row editors are being destroyed together with the editor itself in column-visualized GridViews. There's an easy solution for it (store what was in there and restore upon recreation) and we're waiting for an official fix for this "expected behaviour" since three+ years.

If you have a RadComboBox inside a ControlPanelItem, when you open the RadComboBox's dropdown and select an item, the ControlPanelItem is not closed. As a workaround, you can manually capture the mouse. Please check the attached project.

To reproduce the problem, there need to be defined a huge amount of columns(400-500). The workaround is to call the Clear method of the Columns collection of RadGridView

Available in LIB version 2018.1.205, it will be also available in the R1 2018 SP2 Release.

The designer crashes with this exception:
InvalidOperationException: 'GridViewColumnGroupRow' TargetType does not match type of element 'GridViewColumnGroupRow'.

See the attached screenshot. It's from a new project, after clean and rebuild.

Visual studio: 2015
Telerik UI for wpf: 2015.2
Implicit styles, Windows8 theme.

* The problem is not theme specific. As a workaround, use no xaml binaries instead of xaml files.

A TargetName = "FilterIcon" should be added to the foreground setter in the trigger in the control template of the FilteringDropDown.
