Hi Robert,

This is a know issue and has already been resolved. You can download our latest internal build, which contains the fix.
However, please keep in mind that working with visual elements like this is not recommended since RadGridView is virtualized control. This means that those elements will be recycled and reused on scrolling and the foreground you set might be applied to another TextBlock. You would better work with styles and style selectors (check out this article for a reference).
