Add keyboard navigation in the DropDownList and ComboBox SDT elements (content controls) of RadRichTextBox. 
Alt(or another modifier)+Down for drop down opening and Up and Down arrows for navigation in the items.

When a DropDownList SDT form is saved in a XAML document and then imported with the XamlFormatProvider, an extra ListItem entry is added in the items collection of the DropDownList. The extra entry is the default "Choose an item".

To work this around, iterate all ComboBoxProperties and manually remove duplicates of the "Choose an item" entry.

var dropDownLists = radRichTextBox.Document.EnumerateChildrenOfType<SdtRangeStart>()
     .Where(x => x.SdtProperties is ComboBoxProperties)
     .Select(x => x.SdtProperties).OfType<ComboBoxProperties>();
 var defaultItemString = LocalizationManager.GetString("Documents_ContentControlsGenerator_ListItem");
 foreach (var item in dropDownLists)
 {
     if (item.Items.Count > 0 && item.Items.Any(x => x.Value != defaultItemString) && item.Items.Any(x => x.Value == defaultItemString))
     {
         var occurrence = item.Items.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Value == defaultItemString);
         while (occurrence != null)
         {
             item.Items.Remove(occurrence);
             occurrence = item.Items.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Value == defaultItemString);
         }
     }

Currently, the SdtProperties classes (ex: DateProperties) can be extended by overriding the GetBuilder() method. This allows you to implement custom ISdtBuilder that creates the document content of the SDT form. However, the custom properties are not taken into account during import/export. Consider adding some kind of custom information about the custom SdtProperties type during export and restore it during import. Or at the least provide API (like an event or method override) that can intercept the creation of the SdtProperties during import which will allow you to replace the default SdtProperties object.

The text content control (SDT form) cannot be edited when the Lock property of the associated SdtProperties is set to SdtLocked. The SdtLocked setting should prevent deletion of the form only, but the user should be able to still edit the text. 
The issue reproduces only if the content control was locked before any text is entered (when the text placeholder is displayed).

Add protection mode that allows to make the document readonly, but allow forms editing. In MS Word this can be enabled via the "Restrict Editing" menu. The option is called "Filling in forms" and protects the document, but leaves the Sdt elements (the forms) editable.

Currently, when you insert a content control using TextProperties, CheckBoxProperties, etc., the applied font is the default one for the content controls. Instead, it should use the font of the associated span/paragraph where it was inserted. For example, if you type "Hello world" and set its font size to 36, then place the cursor between "Hello" and "world" and insert a textbox content control there, the font size of the textbox will be something like 10, instead of 36.

Synchronize the font properties and make sure that the content control uses same font as the existing paragraph/span.

Release 2026.1.211 (2026 Q1)

FormatException is thrown during the import of a table coming from a docx document when the application culture is "sv-SE". This happens when the column width in the document is a floating point number (ex: 120.65). The Swedish culture uses "," as decimal separator and " " as the number group separator, which makes any invariant decimal value (like 120.65) invalid during standard parsing (ex: float.Parse("120.65")).

Stacktrace:

FormatException: The input string '4514.5' was not in the correct format.

To work this around, switch to InvariantCulture during the import and return the original culture after that.

 var cultureCache = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;
 Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
 Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
 var provider= new DocxFormatProvider();
 rtb.Document = provider.Import(stream);
 Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = cultureCache;

Working with the RadContextMenu that comes from the RadRichTextBoxUI, when having analytics enabled, produces a NullReferenceException.

Manually set the Menu property on the PreviewMouseLeftButtonUp event of the RadMenuItem:

static MainWindow()
{
    EventManager.RegisterClassHandler(typeof(RadMenuItem), PreviewMouseLeftButtonUpEvent, new MouseButtonEventHandler(OnRadMenuItemPreviewMouseLeftButtonUp), true);
}

private static void OnRadMenuItemPreviewMouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    RadMenuItem radMenuItem = (RadMenuItem)sender;

    RadContextMenu radContextMenu = radMenuItem.ParentOfType<RadContextMenu>();

    if (radContextMenu != null)
    {
        PropertyInfo menuPropertyInfo = radMenuItem.GetType().GetProperty("Menu", BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance);
        if (menuPropertyInfo != null)
        {
            MethodInfo setMethod = menuPropertyInfo.GetSetMethod(true);
            if (setMethod != null)
            {
                Application.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() =>
                {
                    setMethod.Invoke(radMenuItem, new object[] { radContextMenu });
                }), System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority.Background);
            }
        }

Font weight, size and other current editing style properties are not preserved when document layout is performed, for example in the following cases:
- the document is in web layout mode and the controls is resized
- scroll bar changes its visibility.

Steps to reproduce:
- Set RadRichTextBox to Web layout mode.
- Type a word, select it and make it bold.
- Press enter and type a word
- Repeat the previous step until RadRichTextBox height is reached and scrollbar appear.
- Type a word.
Expected: The last word is bold.
Actual: The last word is not bold.
