The RenderTransforms that are defined in a style (in my case SubheaderTextStyle that is defined in StandardStyles.xaml) is not shown with a 'purple' marker in the PropertiesPane when a TextBlock with the applied style is selected. The 'RenderTransform' label is marked, but not the applied RenderTransform. This hinders the debugging of styles.

(Blend for VS 2012 RTM, but can't find the connect group for that)

Unfortunately, we will not be able to fix this in next release. We have copied this feedback on your feature lists.

We have this issue in our backlog. It's been prioritized and we are going through our issues in order. COmpletely understand how this issue makes figuring out what is wrong in XAML very difficult.

Doh! I got it. Yep that's a bug. We'll get it triaged.

Thanks,

Attached. Just created a simple textblock, added the style. The style has a rendertransform defined, but you can't see that it's a translatetransform. IMHO, the translatetransform should be marked too when you select the textblock. Because they aren't (values 0 are shown and no marker), it took me quite a while to figure out that the tekst was positioned with due to that translatetransform.

Hi Bart,

I see the property indicator as purple when it's bound to a style or a substyle of standard styles. Can you give me a project that repros this issue?

Thanks,
