Exception is thrown when closing RiibonForm with TabbedMDIManager who's children have cmbAdv1 activated

[SysNop]

I have a project where I have Main mdi form which is of Type Ribbon.

There is TabbedMDIManager control on that MainForm which RibbonStyle is set to TouchStyle.

I have a separate child form which is inherits from MetroForm.

I have combboxadv1 set to Metro style on that child form. comboboxadv1 is empty and doesn't contain items.

When I run application and put two or more ChildForms in TabbedMDIManager.

After that I click for example on second tab to activate form. After that comboboxadv1 gets focus and become active (text within becomes blue).

After that I click on Close button on MainForm to close whole application and than following error message is thrown:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in Syncfusion.Shared.Base.dll

Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

If I set Style to comboBoxAdv1 to Default then app closes without error message.

Is this normal behaviour?
