SelectLines() goes to 0,0 on tab control if not on active tab.

[Peter]

I am using syntax editor control in a wpf tab control. It is on the first tab (tabControl.SelectedIndex = 0). When I am on a different tab I want to be able to move the text cursor in code in the edit control to a specific position, based on the selection on the different tab. My event handler for the different tab is:

        private void tokenisedGrid_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
        {
            tabControl.SelectedIndex = 0;
            int nLine = 5, nColumn = 8;
            textEditor.SelectLines(nLine, nLine, nColumn, nColumn);
            textEditor.BringIntoView();
            textEditor.Focus();
        }

(I have removed the application-specific values for nLine and nColumn to generalise the sample code!)

This code moves to 0,0 when the different tab is the active tab but works correctly if I fire it from a button on the same tab as the edit control. As far as I know, the only way to programatically navigate back to the tab containing the edit control is as I have done it, tabControl.SelectedIndex = 0, but although my code does navigate back to the edit control tab, the cursor is in position 0,0;

Is there a solution / correct way to achieve what I'm trying? Thanks!
