Exception when opening ContextMenu 2nd time

[John]

I have a RichTextBox in the main page. I have a RadWindow, which also contains a RichTextBox, that is open over the top of the one in the main page. Both RichTextBoxes have custom context menus. The context menu for the RichTextBox in the main page works perfectly. The context menu for the RichTextBox in the RadWindow opens correctly the first time, but throws an exception the 2nd time.

Value does not fall within the expected range.

Hello John,
Sometimes similar issues can be observed due to the fact that one ContextMenu is shared between the different RadRichTextBox instances. You can try the workaround described in this forum thread. If this doesn't help, please try to isolate the problem in a sample project and send it to us for further investigation.

Kind regards,
Boby

I was unable to create a sample project that duplicated the problem, even after several attempts, so this remains a mystery. I worked around the problem by using the native silverlight toolkit context menu.
