Hristo,

That's really great information - thanks for sharing! Your solution is quite clever and I applaud you - but I'll warn you that you may be relying on undocumented behavior with this. :) Nevertheless, I'm glad to know it for those times nothing else will work.

Thanks again!

Hello Delay,

There is another problematic event - Zoomed. Attaching to it will also reset the zooming. The interesting part it that if you remove the handler then zooming is restored.

After some reflection I find out that Content class have public constructor. My guess was that those events are global (like LayoutUpdated) so I created static instance of Content class and removed an event handler from the static instance and attach handler to Application.Current.Host.Content.Resized and voila - no more zooming issues.

I hope that this will help with the fight with Popups.
