</StackPanel>

Code behind:

private void Page_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    string myRtfString = @"{\rtf1\fbidis\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\nouicompat\deflang1040
 {\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 Segoe UI;}
 {\f1\fnil\fcharset0 Brush Script MT;}
 {\f2\fnil\fcharset0 Impact;}
 {\f3\fnil Segoe UI;}}
 {\colortbl ;\red9\green105\blue192;\red0\green0\blue0;\red76\green152\blue25;\red208\green52\blue56;}

    EditBox.Document.SetText(TextSetOptions.FormatRtf, myRtfString);
} 

If you still want a workaround in your environment, please try to find the following code which is under “Focused ViewState” in the style of RichEditTextBox and comment it out. For more details about this please reference this thread.

    <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="Light"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
