Question

I have some RoutedCommands for commands like control-A, copy paste and they all work fine.
Then I added 4 more routedcommands to move object up down left and right in the canvas using arrowkeys, they sometimes works and sometime doesn’t. At first I thought it was a Focus issue on the Canvas but I just found out that at the same time, all the other routedcommands like control-A works but arrowkeys doesn’t.
I really have no idea what’s going on here, they are identical routedcommands with different variable names, how come one works 100% of time and one only work 50% of time?

Working RoutedCommand:

_bindings.Add(new CommandBinding(DesignerCanvas.SelectAll, SelectAll_Executed));
SelectAll.InputGestures.Add(new KeyGesture(Key.A, ModifierKeys.Control));

private void SelectAll_Executed(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
    SelectionService.SelectAll();
}

Malfunctioning RoutedCommand:

_bindings.Add(new CommandBinding(DesignerCanvas.MoveDown, MoveDown_Executed));
MoveDown.InputGestures.Add(new KeyGesture(Key.Down));

private void MoveDown_Executed(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
    e.Handled = true;
    var selectedItems = from item in SelectionService.CurrentSelection.OfType<DesignerItem>()
                            select item;

    if (selectedItems.Count() > 0)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < selectedItems.Count(); i++)
            selectedItems.ElementAt(i).Top += Option.OptionSingleton.Sensitivity;
    }
}

The malfunctioning RoutedCommand is just not firing sometimes, especially after I open some other window and come back to the canvas, then it will stop firing while other routedcommands are unaffected. Any ideas what’s causing this weird behavior?

It turns out that it was a focus issue, I just set the focus to the canvas whenever mouse enters, now it’s sort of fixed. Thanks everybody for answering.
