I have a WPF application that I have implemented the OfficeUI RibbonWindow. The problem that I am having is that when I maximize the window, the Ribbon covers up the Close, Minimize and Maximize buttons. When the form is not maximized, the buttons appear as normal. I cannot figure out how to stop it from doing this. Could it have something to do with my row definition height being set to Auto? I am very new to WPF and XAML, so any help would be appreciated.

My guess is it's a bug in the ribbon library you use. I can suggest using Fluent Ribbon[^], I use it myself and had any problems.
