Research direction

Start by locating the SelectAllSelector implementation and the SelectAll/UnselectAll methods used by CheckComboBox. Reproduce the issue with a value-type or enum collection, then trace the SelectedItems handling. Done means selecting or unselecting all items no longer throws a NullReferenceException for value types.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

A NullReferenceException is thrown when the SelectAll/UnselectAll methods within SelectAllSelector are called and the SelectedItems collection items type is a value type.

For example you could have CheckComboBox with enums as items. When clicking the Select all checkbox a NullReferenceException is thrown.
