Is there anyway to the get the RadRichTextBox to initialize with no text?  From what I can tell the default initialization of a RichTextBox includes a single space. 

I've tried using this, but it throws a NullReferenceException.

RichTextBox.SetText("");

Ben, I saw this same behavior in the Q2 released version, but it seems to have gone away with the 7/30 internal build.

Hello Ben,

Until now, all paragraphs had to be non-empty, so "empty" paragraphs contained a single span with a space. With the SP1 release coming next week, we'll be introducing support for actually empty paragraphs with no inlines in them. That should allow you to construct a document with a single section and paragraph, but without any spans. I hope that will resolve your issues. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

Best wishes,
Ivailo
