Same Child Object, Multiple Roots

[Bobby]

I am using a TreeListView and have multiple roots on my tree but they share a common child.
A -> B
D -> B
B -> C

I would expect to see two roots A and D which expand out to
A
  B
    C
D
  B
    C
The TreeListView roughly displays this but expanding and collapsing is behaving strangely.
If I expand B it sometimes expands both Bs and sometimes C becomes its own row that will not collapse into B.
Can someone help explain this behavior to me?

Here is an example

.xaml
<telerik:RadTreeListView
        CanUserDeleteRows="False"
        CanUserInsertRows="False"
        IsReadOnly="True"
        HorizontalAlignment="Left"
        Height="413"
        EnableRowVirtualization="False"
        VerticalAlignment="Top"
        AutoGenerateColumns="False"
        Width="725"
        ItemsSource="{Binding Roots}">
        <telerik:RadTreeListView.ChildTableDefinitions>
            <telerik:TreeListViewTableDefinition ItemsSource="{Binding Children}" />
        </telerik:RadTreeListView.ChildTableDefinitions>
        <telerik:RadTreeListView.Columns>
            <telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name}"
                                    Header="Name" />
        </telerik:RadTreeListView.Columns>
    </telerik:RadTreeListView>

bound object

        public ObservableCollection<Node> Roots
        {
            get
            {
                var relationships = new ObservableCollection<Node>();
                var nodeA = new Node("A");
                var nodeB = new Node("B");
                var nodeC = new Node("C");
                var nodeD = new Node("D");
                nodeA.Children.Add(nodeB);
                nodeB.Children.Add(nodeC);
                nodeD.Children.Add(nodeB);
                relationships.Add(nodeA);
                relationships.Add(nodeD);
                return relationships;
            }
        }

    public class Node
    {
        public string Name { get; private set; }
        public DateTime Expiry { get; private set; }
        public ObservableCollection<Node> Children { get; private set; }

        public Node(string name)
        {
            this.Name = name;
            this.Children = new ObservableCollection<Node>();
        }
    }

Hi,

It is not recommended displaying the same items under different nodes as it may lead to problems like the ones you have hit. You will have to add separate child instances under the different child nodes.
