Description
Content in ListViewItem is not horizontally stretched by default. Instead, the content is left aligned. This makes content appear as shown in the top image instead of the expected bottom image below (taken from #1402)
This PR changes the horizontal alignment to
Stretch
fromLeft
. Risks of this change should be quite low since it's only changing the container style (ListViewItem itself) #1402 (comment)The original behavior (
Left
alignment) is different from older XAML technologies such as WPF and is counterintuitive for application developers. It prevents doing something such as what is below unless the ItemContainerStyle is overridden:The reasons for switching may have been due to the prevalence of horizontal scrolling in ListViews when UWP/Metro styling first came around.
