WPF ControlTemplate for scrolling TreeView Control

Question

I'm using a the TreeView control and it scrolls automatically to left-align TreeViewItem when one of them is clicked. I've gone looking at my Styles and ControlTemplates, but I haven't found anything. Is there a default ControlTemplate that causes this? I want to disable it.

The items scroll because the ScrollViewer calls BringIntoView() on them. So one way to avoid scrolling is to suppress the handling of the RequestBringIntoView event. You can try that out quickly by subclassing TreeView and instantiating this control instead:

public class NoScrollTreeView : TreeView
{
    public class NoScrollTreeViewItem : TreeViewItem
    {
        public NoScrollTreeViewItem() : base()
        {
            this.RequestBringIntoView += delegate (object sender, RequestBringIntoViewEventArgs e) {
                e.Handled = true;
            };
        }

        protected override DependencyObject GetContainerForItemOverride()
        {
            return new NoScrollTreeViewItem();
        }
    }
    protected override DependencyObject GetContainerForItemOverride()
    {
        return new NoScrollTreeViewItem();
    }
}
