You need to give the newly selected row logical focus. After selecting the new item try replacing your SetFocus call with this:

        var selectedRow = (DataGridRow)dataGrid1.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(dataGrid1.SelectedIndex);
        FocusManager.SetIsFocusScope(selectedRow, true);
        FocusManager.SetFocusedElement(selectedRow, selectedRow);
