Reproductin steps

Create a WPF application and place the following xaml in the window:

<docking:DockSite
    <docking:SplitContainer>
        <docking:Workspace>
        </docking:Workspace>

        <docking:ToolWindowContainer>
            <docking:ToolWindow x:Name="RedToolWindow" Title="Red Tool Window">
                <Rectangle Fill="Red" RenderTransformOrigin=".5,.5">
                    <Rectangle.RenderTransform>
                        <TranslateTransform X="200"/>
                    </Rectangle.RenderTransform>
                </Rectangle>
            </docking:ToolWindow>
        </docking:ToolWindowContainer>
        <docking:ToolWindowContainer>
            <docking:ToolWindow x:Name="BlueToolWindow" Title="Blue Tool Window">
                <Rectangle Fill="Blue">

                </Rectangle>
            </docking:ToolWindow>
        </docking:ToolWindowContainer>
    </docking:SplitContainer>
</docking:DockSite>
  1. Start the application.
  2. Undock the blue window and dock to the right of the red window
  3. BUG: Notice the red content from the window covers the blue window
  4. Undock the red window and dock to the left of the blue window
  5. Resize the red window to make it smaller and bigger
  6. BUG: Notice the red content does not cover the blue window but does bleed outside of the red window bounds.
  7. Undock the red window
  8. Notice no red extends past the window bounds

Hi Shawn,

Thanks for reporting this.  It comes down to us needing this Setter on the Style for ToolWindow and DocumentWindow:

<Setter Property="ClipToBounds" Value="True" />

We'll put this in the next maintenance release but you can add it in an implicit style for now in your app too.

Do you know if this fix is in test release .632?

I believe so.  If you look in the preview build's Release History, you should see this item if it's included:

Updated DockingWindow.ClipToBounds to true by default to ensure content doesn't extend past the docking window edges.
