Description
I'm developing Visual Studio extension for VS 2017 and I want to use MSAGL library (version 1.1.3) for graph rendering. I'm trying to host GViewer with the graph from the basic sample in WPF as recommended here and add it to the custom tool window. I'm expecting to see the graph, but the GViewer window is empty.
The example with the full description and steps to reproduce is available here https://github.com/olgalupuleac/GViewerBugReport
The tool window was created using this tutorial.

Start with the linked GViewerBugReport reproduction and compare its GViewer setup with the basic viewer sample and the Visual Studio custom tool window tutorial. Verify the WPF-hosted GViewer inside the VSIX tool window, then confirm that the sample graph appears instead of an empty window.
