I am getting a pretty tough error that is coming from ItemsControlExtensions used by the TileList control. I get this error when I run the my application using Narrator.
I found an article about this on StackOverflow where somebody encountered this issue on some custom controls they had in their own solution that caused the error. But in my case, I am using Telerik. So I am kind of stuck unless Telerik fixes it.
Here is the link to the stack over flow find.

All I am trying to do is launch the app. The app uses a TileList control as well as a RadAutoCompleteBox, RadComboBox, and RadGridView.
When I run the app on Windows 8 I get two errors when the application starts:
First Error:
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

Unfortunately the NullReferenceException in the first error is caused by internal framework code where we haven't any influence.
You have already opened support ticket for the second error and we would kindly ask you to continue our conversation there.

I thought it was pretty clear that the null reference exception was happening here:
at Telerik.Windows.Controls.ItemsControlExtensions.<GetContainers>d__0`1.MoveNext() in c:\TB\221\WPF_Scrum\Release_WPF\Sources\Development\Core\Controls\Common\ItemsControlExtensions.cs:line 45
This appears to be Telerik Code from the Telerik WPF Controls Scrum team. I find it highly unlikely Microsoft WPF developers are leaving their local source code paths within the official release of WPF.
I will repeat our reply from the support ticket regarding the same issue:
Indeed the provided stack trace of the NullReferenceException shows that the error leads to our code, but there could be various reasons and cases which can cause it. Without reproducing the issue at our side we cannot do much to help.
I would ask you to continue our conversation there. Thank you for the understanding.

We are experiencing the same thing on Windows 8 and 8.1, with or without the Narrator active. On Windows 7 we also get this exception thrown if the Narrator is active.
Was there a resolution to this issue in your support ticket?
Thanks,
Guy
I have checked the support ticket regarding this case and it seems that we did not manage to reproduce the reported issue. So if you could provide us with more information about your scenario and/or some sample code, it will be of great help.

The Q3 2013 SP2 release seems to have resolved this problem. I'd imagine it was this item in your change log:
"NullReferenceException is thrown when RadAutoCompleteBox is initially collapsed and automation peers are turned on"
Thanks,
Guy
I am glad that the issue is resolved.
