Discussion: Reordering ListView items shouldn't require AddDeleteThemeTransition

I don't see any real connection between AddDeleteThemeTransition and reordering items animation, but I would expect ReorderThemeTransition to handle this scenario.
I have a chat list, where items are moved pretty quickly, and AddDeleteThemeTransition just doesn't fit, because it is too attractive for the eye to play continuously. Still, users should be able to reorder the first chats in the list (that can be locked/pinned).
The problem is: if I remove AddDeleteThemeTransition, reordering looks pretty much broken:

So yeah, it would be great if this animation could be handled by a different Transition.

@FrayxRulez - thanks for filing this issue! Agreed that the GIF looks pretty broken.

ListView has four transitions by default:

<TransitionCollection>
  <AddDeleteThemeTransition />
  <ContentThemeTransition />
  <ReorderThemeTransition />
  <EntranceThemeTransition IsStaggeringEnabled="False" />
</TransitionCollection>

Can you confirm which transitions your list has? I agree that AddDeleteThemeTransition shouldn't break the reordering, but the ThemeTransition types are mysterious and interconnected in ways that aren't obvious.

My collection has all of the default ones, but AddDeleteThemeTransition!

@FrayxRulez - thank you for confirming. That is very strange indeed. I don't have any insightful workarounds offhand - this just seems like a bug to me. 🤷‍♂️
