Navigation problem when 2 panes have same header

[Twistur]

Guys, I notice that the navigation menu for the pane is not working as intended if there are 2 panes with the same name. They will appear in the menu as separate item but clicking on all of them will just focus/activate the first pane. For example, you have panes with header "A", "B","C", "A". They appear correctly in the menu but the A's focus are linked only to the first pane. How do I go about this?

Am I trying to achieve the impossible? A comment from the Telerik team will be highly appreciated.

Hi Twistur,

A known WPF/ SL issue is that when Items in ItemsControl have same Headers, in certain situations when making a selection, the first item with this Header is selected, not the desired one. However, having this in mind I was unable to reproduce this nor in the RadTabControl, neither in the RadPane with mouse clicking. Could you please elaborate more on your scenario and what are the steps you perform in order to encounter such behavior? This way we would be better able to assist you and advice you. Thank you in advance.

Hi Petar

I made a naive application for my situation. Try clicking on different menu items on the right.

Using DropDownContentTemplate solves the problem.
