ScrollablePanel | flexible view for providing a limited rect window | RecyclerView library

I have an installer created with install4j that fails to show anything at all, other than the background image, on a screen that contains a Installation Directory Chooser component that as far as I can tell from the stack trace is based on a Swing JComponent.

The problem only occurs on a specific Windows Server 2016 server and no other environment I've ever tested it against. There are other components on the same screen but through trial and error I found out that everything shows up fine once I disable/don't build the above JComponent/Directory Chooser.

Here's the stack trace:

Hey i am new to this

I am adding and removing multiple things like Jpanel or JinternalFrame to a JScrollPanel.

Most things whether custom classes or layout manager i tried, either only hid the scrollbar( but did not prevent content being added in horizontal direction forever) or did only shrink the content.

I'm having some problems with the telerik:RadGanttView control. I believe this to be a problem specific to the Telerik toolkit UI for WPF, but I'll explain the issue as detailed as possible so others might be able to suggest a workaround if they can think of one.

TLDR;

The GanttView has the possibility to display recurring tasks by placing each recurrence as a child inside a single parent event. Now my project requires me to nest this recurring task series into another parent event container.

When selecting a recurring task event that is part of a nested hierarchy (of at least 2 levels deep), the application will throw a System.NullReferenceException and crash.
More specifically, this error occurs only when all parent nodes are collapsed. If only the top node is collapsed and the other child-nodes are still expanded, the problem does not occur.

This is the StackTrace of the System.NullReferenceException:

Detailed description:

I've based my code on the RecurringTask_WPF example project. I was able to get my desired visual result but I've stumbled upon an action that causes my application to crash.
This makes it pretty much unusable, so I need to find a solution or at least a way to catch the exception and prevent it from crashing.

I've been able to pinpoint the cause of my problem, but have been unable to solve this by myself.

Let me start by describing my current situation/environment.

In the default RecurringTask_WPF example project, if you collapse the "Recurrence Series" (the parent tree node) then you can see all the child recurring tasks next to each other.
When you click on one of the events, so for example: "Recurrence 1" block (in the TimeRuler Part of the RadGanttView), then this specific recurring task gets selected. This causes the tree node to be expanded automatically and the selected task/event becomes highlighted.

This behaviour works perfectly as intended and I wish to keep it like that exactly.
However once you nest recurring tasks into one extra level of hierarchy, which is on my requirements, an exception is thrown and the program stops working.

First I'll give you the code that changes the example project in order to recreate the problem. (This should also help with explaining the exact problem further)
You should replace the GetTasks() method of the ViewModel.cs with the code below:
