Hi,

in release notes I saw, that now it's possible to navigate with HOME/END and PGUP/PGDOWN. That's great and it fundamentally works.
But I figured out some problems (in general keyboard navigation):
1. We only need row selection and no cell selection. We worked around this by setting cell selector style to something "invisible".
2. If a row gets selected via ViewModel it isn't brought into view. I worked around this by using ScrollIntoView() when ViewModels SelectedItem property changed. Sometimes I get performance issues, but couldn't reproduce them: the scrollbar moves very very slowly but the grid doesn't get updated. After several seconds it then updates the grid.
3. If I navigate via arrow down/up key very fast, the selected row is not enforced to contain the selected cell. That means there is a selected cell further up/down to the navigation direction than the selected row.
4. Sometimes it is not possible to navigate to the last row via key down (with RowDetails enabled) - the same with the first row and key up
5. If I reach the last row in the grid it looses keyboard focus (it doesn't matter which key invokes the navigation - I tried key up/down, home/end & page up/down.
6. the grid generally behaves very sluggish with keyboard navigation and enabled RowDetails
