Currently, when you write down a web address (e.g. https://www.google.com) and move the caret outside of the address text (usually by pressing Space or Enter), the text is automatically wrapped in a hyperlink. Any further updates on the text won't update the underlying hyperlink address.

Add an option to auto-detect changes in the hyperlink text. This is valid only when the text matches the underlying link.

The RichTextBox internal logic that imports .docx documents (DocxFormatProvider) doesn't support elements that don't need direct content, but have both start and end tags. Instead such elements should use self-closing tags. 

For example, instead of <w:vertAlign w:val="baseline"></w:vertAlign> it should be <w:vertAlign w:val="baseline"/>

When such element is read during import, issues may occur. Two main known issues here are with the w:vertAlign and Relationship tags.

Using

<w:vertAlign w:val="baseline"></w:vertAlign> 

instead of

<w:vertAlign w:val="baseline"/> 

throws NullReferenceException with the following stack trace:

System.NullReferenceException: 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'

To work this around, import the document with the WordsProcessing library. If you need to display it in RadRichTextBox, you can export it again using the WordsProcessing library. This will normalize the tags. Then import it again using the RadDocument's DocxFormatProvider.

 var dplDocxFormatProvider = new Telerik.Windows.Documents.Flow.FormatProviders.Docx.DocxFormatProvider();
 RadFlowDocument flowDocument = dplDocxFormatProvider.Import(File.ReadAllBytes("../../../test.docx"), null);

 var docBytes = dplDocxFormatProvider.Export(flowDocument, null);
 File.WriteAllBytes("../../../modified-doc.docx", docBytes);

 var rtbDocxFormatProvider= new Telerik.Windows.Documents.FormatProviders.OpenXml.Docx.DocxFormatProvider();
 RadDocument document = rtbDocxFormatProvider.Import(File.ReadAllBytes("../../../modified-doc.docx"));

It seems that the first time a Center TextAlignment is applied to the selection, its length is cached. Because of this, when the selection content (text) changes the length is not updated, thus the text doesn't align properly. It aligns accord to the initial length of the context. The content doesn't update also if the alignment is reset.

 

To work this around, avoid the FlowNoWrap layout mode and use only Flow.

Many document elements (like Footer, Header, Note, Comments, etc.) have their own RadDocument instance that serves as their body. These child documents are part of the main RadDocument assigned as the Document of RadRichTextBox.

Currently, to access the child RadDocument elements, you should iterate each different element of the main RadDocument and collect its Body property value.

Add a method to easily collect the child RadDocuments, similar to how the EnumerateChildrenOfType<T> method works. Currently the EnumerateChildrenOfType<T> method doesn't work for searching RadDocument, so you can consider extending this already existing API.

The issue reproduces when track changes is enabled and new text is entered. After waiting some time and pressing the Backspace on the keyboard in order to delete a character, nothing happens. You should press the Backspace a second time in order to make the deletion work. After that you can delete the content normally. 

The waiting time before pressing the Backspace is usually until the next minute of the clock comes. For example, you can write something at 14:55 and wait until 14:56. Then, press Backspace.

If you check the Output pane of Visual Studio you will see the following assertion failure message printed:

When the exported document contains a very precise indent values, these are saved using scientific notation, which is unsupported in MS Word. Opening the file in Word results in the following error: "Word experienced an error trying to open the file."

Image

Here is an example of the troublesome setting in the body of the produced document:

<w:ind w:firstLine="6.420405952667352E-06" w:left="76.53543090820312" w:right="0" />

To work this around, you can open the exported document with the WordsProcessing library. This will give you a RadFlowDocument object which then can be exported to a file again. This will save the indent values properly in the new document.

 var dplProvider = new Telerik.Windows.Documents.Flow.FormatProviders.Docx.DocxFormatProvider();
 using (var inputStream = File.OpenRead("../../../originalFile.docx"))
 {
     Telerik.Windows.Documents.Flow.Model.RadFlowDocument flowDoc = dplProvider.Import(inputStream, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));
     using (var outputStream = File.OpenWrite("../../../convertedFile.docx"))
     {
         dplProvider.Export(flowDoc, outputStream, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));
     }
 }


Or if you use the RichTextBox document model only to create documents in code (without using the RadRichTextBox control), you can replace the code with the WordsProcessing API.
