Place one RadPane in a RadPaneGroup. Bind IsHidden property of this RadPane, and set the default value to True. If you change it to False, the width of the AutoHide area is not set to the correct one.

Resizing a RadPane's splitter while its Header's or Content's ContextMenu is opened leads to incorrect resize

Available in LIB version 2016.1.411, it will be also available in the 2016 R2 release.

This happens in particular scenario after saving/loading the layout.

Changing the theme at runtime causes any horizontal ScrollBar inside the content of a RadPane to be scrolled to its end

Available with the 2015 Q3 release.

The the keyboard focus is also lost if you undock a RadPane from its docked state.
As a workaround you can persist the focus as shown in the RestoreFocusOnStateChanged SDK example, that can be found here:
https://github.com/telerik/xaml-sdk/tree/master/Docking/RestoreFocusOnStateChanged

When changing the DragDropMode in runtime, the panes behave unexpectedly.

If changing from Immediate to Deferred:

* Docked panes are not movable (no compass and no deferred adorner is being shows)

* Floating panes that are being docked do have the compass and the deferred adorner, when you try to move them after they were docked. 

 

If you change is back from Deferred to Immediate:

* Panes that you could not move can be moved (and then become floating) again/

* The panes that did have  the compass and the deferred adorner, don't move when you try to drag them. However, when you release the mouse button, then the start moving with the mouse pointer... without any mouse button pressed.


I've debugged the controls using the source code, and I've concluded that.

RadPane.UdateAllowDrag() is being called on PaneLoaded, which happens when I drag a floating pane into the Docking area.

In this case, when the DragDropMode is set to Deferred, then AllowDrag is set to True (with the call of DragDropManager.SetAllowDrag)

This is why that pane does have the Deferred Drag Adorner (The Drag Cue), while other panes doesn't.

 

On the other hand, when I change the DragDropMode to be Immediate again, then that pane is left with AllowDrag set to true, and it is registered to the DragDropManager events, which causes the second problem.

 

In my opinion, the RadPane.UpdateAllowDrag() should be called also when the DragDropMode is changed.

On Deferred mode, you can still undock panes (for example, but context menu).
The problem starts when you want to dock them back, When moving a pane above the compass, it hides the compass (And this problem is a PITA when you docking with the inner compass (rather than the root compass), since the left,top, center etc.. arrows are near to each other (so you are not 100% sure you hit the right arrow).

On some rare cases, RadPane.OnPaneLoaded is being called before ApplyTemplate was called, and therefore, UpdateAllowDrag which tries to find the first child of the rad pane (the "wrapper" grid) fails, and pane remains undraggable.

To reproduce this issue, I have a button that when clicking on it, it adds a new pane (There is a collection of View Models, that when items are added or removed, then a code that is using binding to that collection adds or removes a pane.

The scenario happens when the system is laggy (For example, heavy UI on the panes content), and I'm adding several view models to that collection.
It doesn't always happen, but sometimes, one of more of the panes are not draggable.
I can clearly see that the OnPaneLoaded was called before the OnApplyTemplate was.

Maybe it can be a good idea to call UpdateAllowDrag on the OnApplyTemplate function if the OnLoad was called first.

When dragging a pane in Deferred DragDropMode, if the moue cursor is far from the header, then the Drag Cue appears far from the cursor.
