WPF - "g" is cut off sometimes - wpf

I have a combobox in which I display simple strings. At some point this looks like the following:
This is ok. now ein scroll down one step:
Now the "g" is cut off at the bottom. What I have tried so far: Set the height property explicit to Auto. Changing Padding and Margin. Nothing worked. Had some of you the same problem or any suggestions what I could try?
EDIT
Here the related XAML:

Binding In WPF Style Not Working

WPF 4.5
Can someone please take the below default style for ComboBox and show me how to change it so that I can set a BorderBrush color (or resource brush) via Style setter at the top "ComboBox" level...and then have that same color to flow all the way down to the BorderBrush property of the Border named "Border" within the ToggleButton template with key "ComboBoxToggleButton"?
THANKS!!!

WPF especific style on selected item according to the style of the item

I have a custom combobox where I apply a specific style on the first item. I want that when this item is selected, the style of displayed text in the combobox is the same. Currently, all selected items appear in the same style and I do not know how to make the ContentPresenter "get" the specified style in that item. This is the code:
<ComboBox HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="0,106,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="200">
<ComboBoxItem Style="{StaticResource mySpecialStyle}">Select an option...</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>ComboBox Item #1</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>ComboBox Item #2</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>ComboBox Item #3</ComboBoxItem>
</ComboBox>
In fact, "mySpecialStyle" only changes color and fontstyle. But when the first item is selected, it appears like any other selected item. How can set this on the Contentpresenter?
Here is the complete code of the custom ComBoBox:

The placeholder "???" is where I need to set the style according to the style defined in the ComboBoxitem (in this case, "mySpecialStyle").
Thanks in advance!
The logic to solve here of course will base on something like a Trigger. However we can't set Style via Setter. So I thought of this hack (but safe enough). Firstly you need to bind the Style of the ContentPresenter to its Tag property (of course 2 way binding by default). Then you just need to change the Tag to a {StaticResource} with ResourceKey being the same as the resource you defined upwards on the tree. This resource should of course have TargetType of ContentPresenter:
<ContentPresenter
Name="ContentSite"
IsHitTestVisible="False"
Content="{TemplateBinding SelectionBoxItem}"
ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding SelectionBoxItemTemplate}"
ContentTemplateSelector="{TemplateBinding ItemTemplateSelector}"
Style="{Binding Tag, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" />
<!-- the additional Trigger should be added to the ControlTemplate.Triggers -->
<Trigger Property="SelectedIndex" Value="0">
<Setter TargetName="ContentSite"
Property="Tag" Value="{StaticResource mySpecialStyle}"/>
</Trigger>

WPF - MenuItem highlighting has unwanted secondary highlight

I have a ContextMenu on a Button and when shown it display a list of menu items, which is fine. If I move the mouse over an item in the menu, it highlights, but I also get a secondary highlight when I hover over and around the text, see the pictures below.
How do I remove this? I've tried all types of styles, triggers and various other templates to remove the highlighting, but can't seem to make any of the work or display correctly.
There is nothing special about my context menu button either, see wpf below.
<Button.ContextMenu>
<ContextMenu ItemsSource="{Binding SelectedTreeItem.MetaTargets}">
<ContextMenu.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate >
<MenuItem Header="{Binding Name}"
Command="{Binding Path=SelectedTreeItem.AddTargetCommandRelay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType=Window}}"
CommandParameter="{Binding}"
/>
</DataTemplate>
</ContextMenu.ItemTemplate>

Ideally I want it to look like this when highlighted, regardless of where the mouse is within the confines of the highlighted item, see pic below.
Just remove Property="IsHighlighted" trigger from default MenuItem template:
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}">
<Grid SnapsToDevicePixels="True">
<Rectangle x:Name="Bg" Fill="{TemplateBinding Background}" RadiusY="2" RadiusX="2" Stroke="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" StrokeThickness="1"/>

<ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="MenuItemIGTColumnGroup" Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="17"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ContentPresenter x:Name="Icon" Content="{TemplateBinding Icon}" ContentSource="Icon" Margin="1" SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>

This is a very late answer but maybe it could help someone.
The secondary highlight is there because you actually have an extra MenuItem inside the original one.
It is a bit counter-intuitive but when you bind ItemsSource of a menu in WPF, it automatically creates MenuItems without giving it a DataTemplate. The DataTemplate you're providing is actually going inside a ContentPresenter in the originally created MenuItem.
So you should be using ItemContainerStyle to style the MenuItem, rather than giving it a DataTemplate.
I don't have the opportunity to try the following code now, but it should fix the issue:
<Button.ContextMenu>
<ContextMenu ItemsSource="{Binding SelectedTreeItem.MetaTargets}">
<ContextMenu.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="MenuItem">
<Style.Setters>
<Setter Property="Header" Value="{Binding Name}"/>
<Setter Property="Command" Value="{Binding Path=SelectedTreeItem.AddTargetCommandRelay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType=Window}}"/>
<Setter Property="CommandParameter" Value="{Binding}"/>
</Style.Setters>
</Style>
</ContextMenu.ItemContainerStyle>
</ContextMenu>
</Button.ContextMenu>
I use the following style for my ContextMenu instances. Obviously you can change the colors to suit.
<Style x:Key="ContextMenuStyle" TargetType="{x:Type ContextMenu}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="LightBlue"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ContextMenu}">
<Border BorderThickness="1"
BorderBrush="LightBlue">
<StackPanel IsItemsHost="True"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"/>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
EDIT:
If that doesn't work you could go down the route of restyling your MenuItem too. Here is an example:
<ControlTemplate x:Key="{x:Static MenuItem.TopLevelHeaderTemplateKey}"
TargetType="MenuItem">

I had the same problem and solved it with a custom MenuItem template containing just a Label:
<ContextMenu ItemsSource="{Binding ReportLayouts}" x:Name="CtxReportsMenu">
<ContextMenu.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<MenuItem Command="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType=UserControl}, Path=DataContext.ReportCmd}"
CommandParameter="{Binding }">
<MenuItem.Template>
<ControlTemplate>
<Label Content="{Binding Report_Description}"/>
</ControlTemplate>
</MenuItem.Template>
</MenuItem>
</DataTemplate>
</ContextMenu.ItemTemplate>

Custom WPF ComboBox doesn't show grouping

I have created a custom ComboBox in WPF

This is then applied to a ComboBox
<ComboBox Grid.Column="0" x:Name="cboChild" Margin="140,65,0,0" ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource GroupedData}}" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource AccountTemplate}" SelectedValue="{Binding Source={StaticResource Item}, Path=child}" SelectedValuePath="ID" Width="150" Style="{StaticResource RoundedComboBox}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top">
<ComboBox.GroupStyle>
<GroupStyle HeaderTemplate="{StaticResource GroupHeader}"/>
</ComboBox.GroupStyle>
</ComboBox>
The following is found in Window.Resources
<Window.Resources>
<CollectionViewSource Source="{Binding ChildAccounts}" x:Key="GroupedData">
<CollectionViewSource.GroupDescriptions>
<PropertyGroupDescription PropertyName="group"/>
</CollectionViewSource.GroupDescriptions>
</CollectionViewSource>
<DataTemplate x:Key="GroupHeader">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding group}" Margin="0" Foreground="{StaticResource CustomWhite}"/>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="AccountTemplate">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding comment}" Margin="0" Foreground="{StaticResource CustomWhite}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
Basically grouping works as it should when the RoundedComboBox style is NOT applied (ie. to the default ComboBox) but whenever the style is applied the drop-down popup is empty
Help!!
Thanks

Found the answer..... Use <ItemsPresenter ...> instead of <StackPanel ...>
Thanks sa_ddam213 for your helpful advice above regarding the binding.

Remove icon space on ContextMenu

I have the following ContextMenu hooked on to a ListBox. I realy want to remove the space where the icon is. Is this possible in some easy way?
<ListBox.ContextMenu>
<ContextMenu >
<MenuItem x:Name="check" Header="Check all" Click="CheckAll" />
<MenuItem x:Name="uncheck" Header="Uncheck all" Click="UnCheckAll" />
</ContextMenu>
</ListBox.ContextMenu>
You need to change MenuItem style and control template. Actually you need to redefine 4 control templates for 4 different roles of MenuItem. This is a starting point code you need to change for your needs. Place it in your window resources or other appropriate place.
