Root Compass docking fail in Deferred mode

[MC]

Hi,

I have a RadDocking control, DragDropMode="Deferred".
Attempts to dock a pane to the root compass fail if the cursor is still within the dragged pane.

<tt:RadDocking DragDropMode="Deferred" HasDocumentHost="False">

    <tt:RadSplitContainer>

        <tt:RadPaneGroup>

            <tt:RadPane Header="Pane 1" />

        </tt:RadPaneGroup>

    </tt:RadSplitContainer>

    <tt:RadSplitContainer Orientation="Vertical">

        <tt:RadPaneGroup>

            <tt:RadPane Header="Pane 2" />

        </tt:RadPaneGroup>

        <tt:RadPaneGroup tt:ProportionalStackPanel.RelativeSize="100,25">

            <tt:RadPane Header="Pane 3" />

        </tt:RadPaneGroup>


    </tt:RadSplitContainer>

</tt:RadDocking>

Steps to replicate:

 1. Attempt to dock Pane 2 to the right of the Root Compass (see img2): Fail
 2. Attempt to dock Pane 3 to the bottom of the Root Compass (hover the mouse such that the compass for Pane 3 appears. see img3): Fail
3. Attempt to dock Pane 3 to the bottom of the Root Compass (hover the mouse such that the compass for Pane 1 appears): Success

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi again

I've done some debugging and have been stepping through the RadDocking code.

In 

• RadPaneGroup.OnDragOver
• RadDocking.OnDragElement(FrameworkElement, Point, RadPaneGroup)

The code sets the RadPaneGroup under the mouse, into class field RadDocking.groupCompass

In RadDocking.OnDrop(UIElement, Point), the drop code will only execute if:

(paneGroup != null && paneGroup != this.groupWithCompass)

I assume that you're using this method to make sure the pane/group pane is never docked in itself.

But wouldn't this logic fail for all compass indicators that fall within the RadPaneGroup(-being-dragged)'s bounds?

Please help. Thanks.
