[IronPython] Strange IPY / WPF behavior on a ListBox

[Ken MacDonald]

Failing being able to get this working, is there a way in IPY/WPF to
manually scroll a ListBox? I could theoretically do something like this
pseudo-code:

while True:

     if my_selected_item.IsHitTestVisible():
          break
     else:
          my_selected.item.ScrollDown  <===== anything like this?
