What does the pull request do?

Fixes VirtualizingStackPanel.ScrollIntoView to prevent duplicate items and elements not being correctly scrolled into view with variable sized items.

This problem often shows up when scrolling with the keyboard because keyboard navigation uses ScrollIntoView internally. What was happening was the following:

  1. The item to be scrolled to is realized and placed into the scroll viewer at its estimated position, based on the currently realized elements
  2. The scroll viewer is scrolled to make this "scroll to" element visible
  3. A layout pass is run to realize a page of items at this new scroll position
  4. The first item in the viewport is calculated (this element is called the "anchor")
  5. Containers are realized around the anchor
  6. But the sizes of elements at the new scroll position are different to the elements at the previous scroll position
  7. Meaning that the "scroll to" element doesn't fit in the viewport
  8. The "scroll to" element is left as a orphan element

This PR fixes this by using the "scroll to" element as the "anchor" in step 4; that is, realization is started from the "scroll to" element rather than the first element visible in the viewport. This ensures that the "scroll to" element is guaranteed to be realized and visible. In addition when we're waiting for a viewport update and have a "scroll to" element, we use that element's position to calculate our desired size.

I looked through the open issues for ItemsControl but didn't find an open one that reported this exact problem with a repro, though various comments suggested that they were hitting it.

Take into account the element we're scrolling to when calculating the anchor element for realization.
