Hi all,
I'd like to share some details on why such issues occur. Default styles from our themes do no contain setters for the OverridesDefaultStyle property, and the issue occurs in a very specific scenario. It is partially related to our mechanism of loading theme resources, and we have found a way to reproduce it without our themes - see the attached sample.
Taking into account that the exception occurs only at design time, we tend to think that this issue is related to the VS designer. However, we have found a way to avoid it on our side by caching loaded resource dictionaries.
We will publish a hotfix with these modifications in the near future. I would like to encourage everybody who has the issue to download this fix in order to test it. If you find any inconsistency that may be related to the fix, please let us know. We will research the issue promptly.
