Badly aligned Key-Gestures in RadMenuItems in UI for WPF Menu

When binding a RadMenuItem to a command, the command's Key-Gesture (Like "Ctrl-C" for the Copy command) appears on the right side.

Unfortunately these hints for key gestures are not aligned nicely on the right side, like in normal MenuItem, but their position depends on length of the command text (header). This look really ugly! (see attached picture)

There are several posts stemming from 2010-12 where other users have similar problems.

Do you have fixed it finally in 2014???

... I really hope so, because a commercial control should not be worse than the framework.

Hello Peter,

In Q2 2013 we have added a new property for RadMenuItem - InputGestureText. This text is populated automatically if your command has key-gesture, but you can also set it as a string. More information is available in our online help.

Before that RadMenuItem didn't support automatically populating of the KeyGestures, so maybe you have used a custom template. If this is the case I suggest you to try our latest release and remove the custom template if everything is working fine.

Hope this helps.
