It seems that since last release (2015.1.225.45) the behaviour of RibbonView has changed. Previously when the selected RibbonTab was removed the next was selected. Now no tab is selected even if I change the SelectedItemRemoveBehaviour property on the RibbonView.

Selection tab behavior is changed since 2013. If you have the same scenario where you remove the tab, but while the ribbon is minimized, the selection will lead to maximization of the ribbon. This one of the reason we changed this behavior.
As for the SelectedItemRemoveBehaviour property, you are able to see it because the RadRibbonView inherits RadTabControlBase, but it is not implemented for the ribbon.
However, if you want to select the next ribbon tab, you can set the SelectedIndex property of the ribbon to "0" or to the next index when you remove the tab. So you will have always one tab selected. For your convenience I implemented this approach in the attached project. Please take a look at it and let us know if it works for you.
