RadChart Silverlight 4 Chrome / Safari Rendering / Alignment Issues

[Misha]

Hello, 

This issue was described here: http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/silverlight/tileview/radtileview-radchart-rendering-problem-in-chrome.aspx, but I wanted to create my own thread as well. 

There is a problem with the RadChart (the pie chart specifically) when there is a combination of Silverlight 4 and Google Chrome (Windows/Mac) or Safari (Mac Only, it works on Windows). This issue did not occur in any browser when using the Silverlight 5 runtime. 

The examples of this alignment issue can be seen from these images:

I can provide a link to my companies live site if you need to see the problem in action.

Please let me know if there is any knowledge of a possible fix for Silverlight 4 and this issue.

Thank you,
Misha

Hello Misha,

Could you confirm whether you are able to reproduce this behavior consistenly in Google Chrome for Windows, or does it occur randomly? Could you check whether enabling / disabling chart animations produces any difference at all (ChartArea.EnableAnimations property)?

By any means, we do not have a solution for such visual glitch at the moment and the fact that it is triggered in WebKit browsers (like Chrome and Safary) only suggests there is a specific integration issue between them and the Silverlight platform so upgrading to Silverlight 5 might be the only viable option to solve the problem.


Kind regards,
