WPF Custom Expander button style not responding properly to mouse clicks

i have he following expander toggle button style, that is visually getting closer to what I want but it does not respond properly clicks. When you click on it to expand or collapse, it does not always respond. Any ideas? TIA.

       <ControlTemplate x:Key="ExpanderToggleButton"

            <Canvas Width="14" Height="14">

                           StrokeThickness="1"  Width="14" Height="14" 
                           Canvas.Left="0" Canvas.Top ="0"/>
                <Path RenderOptions.EdgeMode="Aliased"

Set the background of the Canvas in the ControlTemplate to "Transparent":

<ControlTemplate x:Key="ExpanderToggleButton"
    TargetType="ToggleButton">

    <!-- The canvas needs a background to work properly with clicks,
         so set it to Transparent -->
    <Canvas Width="14" Height="14" Background="Transparent">
        <Rectangle Stroke="Gray"  
                    RenderOptions.EdgeMode="Aliased" 
                    StrokeThickness="1"  Width="14" Height="14" 
                    Canvas.Left="0" Canvas.Top ="0"/>
        <Path RenderOptions.EdgeMode="Aliased" 
                    Name="ExpandPath" 
                    Stroke="Black" 
                    Margin="0" 
                    StrokeThickness="1" 
                    Data="M 5 1 L 5 9 M 1 5 L 9 5" 
                Canvas.Left="2" Canvas.Top ="2"/>
    </Canvas>
    <ControlTemplate.Triggers>
        <Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
            <Setter Property="Data" TargetName="ExpandPath"
                        Value="M 1 5 L 9 5"/>
        </Trigger>
    </ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>

When there is no canvas background you have to click exactly on the path (the + or the -) to get the click to register. With the canvas background you can click anywhere on the canvas.

This issue sometimes happens when a scrollviewer is involved.

Try adding this setter:

<Setter Property="ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll" Value="False" />
