Fixes

• Bars

  • Fixed an issue where a button control defined purely in XAML and overflowed to a menu in simplified layout with the Command property assigned to a Binding would clear the Binding on click before the associated command was invoked.
  • Fixed an issue where a ribbon tab added while the ribbon wasn't visible might not later initially be visible.
• Docking
  • Fixed an issue where the layout deserialization process in tool window-only mode could throw an exception if the XML file contained document window data.
• Shared
  • Fixed UserPromptBuilder did not apply scrollbar visibility properties to the UserPromptControl.
