• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) jumping ListBox

  Hi! I have a little problem creating a custom ListBox in Dec-CTP. To see the problem, just paste the code below into XamlPad. Problem: Everytime you select an item at the bottom of the ListBox, the ScrollViewer jumps almost to the top :( Setting CanContentScroll="true" in the Template solves the Problem, but creates other problems in my application, so this solution doesn't help me at all :( Any tips from you guys how to solve this problem Michael <Grid Name="root" xmlns=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/avalon/2005 " xmlns:x=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/xaml/2005 "> <Grid.Resources> <Style x:Key="{x: ...Show All
