  Hello,
  
  We implemented a RibbonBar which has a RibbonBackstage defined with several RibbonBackstageItem. some of them have a content (such as an Open view, a Recent view, etc.).
  
  The control used as the content has right-click contextual menus and opens popups as well (RadWindows). Sometimes, for no apparent reason, the context menu or the popup appears behind the content. Most of the popups being modal, the application is basically screwed when it happens. 
  
  It is really to reproduce - if I simply right-click to open a context menu 10 times in a row, I have a good chance that the context menu will not show (because it appears behind?) 2-4 times.
  When it's a modal window that appears behind, I can see the modal overlay above the content (in place of the RibbonTab).
  
  We are using Windows7 as the theme for the RibbonBar and the context menus / popups use the Windows7 or Summer theme.
  
  Any idea why this would happen and how we can prevent that would be greatly apperciated.
  
  Thanks!

  Hi Nicolas,

   We really want to investigate this but we will need a good starting point. Could you please check out our test project and modify it if needed so that the unexpected behavior occurs? This will be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

  Hello Petar,
  
  It seems that it does not happen anymore since we upgraded to SP1. I will let you know if it happens again.
  
  Thanks!
