DoubleAnimation Crashes XAMLPad (MayCTP)

Paul Kinlan

I've encountered a crash in XAMLPad (May CTP) when animating the width of a MenuItem. Specifically, if I remove the "From" attribute in a DoubleAnimation within a SetterTimeline, XAMLPad crashes. I expected the animation to start from the MenuItem's default width. Is this the correct way to use DoubleAnimation without specifying "From"? The crash occurs in a specific context: the Timeline is defined within a Style applied to a HeaderTemplate's DataTemplate element for a custom-drawn control. See the linked XAML for a complete example.
