Final Checklist
- [x] I have provided detailed, clear information in all required fields above and put genuine effort into this bug report.
As @DoLovya said in a previous comment, this is due to the use of ListView rather than DataGrid.
It is possible to accomplish shared column width by using the SharedSizeGroup property, but this causes quite noticable rendering performance degradation.
Purely switching to a DataGrid however wouldn't work either as it would break the support for other item templates like "Normal (detailed)" that consists of a more complex layout.
The best solution would probably be a hybrid approach using DataGrid or ListView depending on the selected item template.
@srwi Well, I tried SharedSizeGroup but found it couldn't achieve the perfect effect of the DataGrid. Using UserControl might be the best solution. Should we consider using the RegionManager concept from Prism for this?
