DataFrame issues for users that add non projected data first

[topowright-zz]

Background

When we try to use the graphics container to draw graphics on a map when a unprojected data source has been added first the graphics container does not added the graphics to the data frame.

Full repo steps and history of issue can be found here:
Esri/visibility-addin-dotnet#248

Additional Note: this issue has also been reported as: "BUG-000114828 : ArcMap graphics disappear during on-the-fly re-projection when the map coordinate system changes."

Here are just the SDK repro steps from Esri/visibility-addin-dotnet#248 (comment) :

Build the Graphics Container SDK sample - Net/Framework/CustomUIElements :

1. Launch ArcMap
2. Add a local basemap: C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.6\TemplateData\TemplateData.gdb\World\continent
3. Change/set the Data Frame coordinate system to Projected | WGS 1984 Web Mercator (aux sphere)
4. Use the "Dharma Toolbar" from the SDK Custom UI elements sample to draw a line
5. Line does not draw after being added to GraphicsContainer
   a. Note: if you draw the line big enough (size of US) you can see a much bigger mis-projected line

This issue seems to be resolved at ArcMap 10.7.1.

This was an issue for us from 10.5.1-10.7.

Good news! The BUG-000114828 has been fixed at 10.7.1 https://downloads.esri.com/support/downloads/other_/1071-IssuesAddressedList-06212019.pdf
So from my testing it looks like this bug is present from 10.5.0 to 10.7.0 inclusive. After I reported the bug it took 16 months to fix.
