I've got a TabControl whose ItemsSource is bound to an observable collection of views (UserControls) each which have as its root element a TabItem.

The usercontrol is little more than a series of laid out TextBlocks, and perhaps (later) an image or two. As I'm laying out the usercontrol, I can put dummy text into all the TextBlocks so I can see what the usercon...

When I have background colors on the items in an ItemsControl, and set the margins to 0, WPF leaves hairlines between the items as if the ItemsControl wrapper plumbing is taking up a minute amount of space.
