Solution 2

SelectedIndex gives you the selected index, irrespective of user input.
Check you are accessing the selecteditem of the correct list box.

Solution 1

This can't be. SelectedIndex will have the selected element indifferent how you select it: by mouse, keyboard, or tapping, or whatever. Don't you have multiselect enabled? Check SelectionMode, SelectedIndices and SelectedItem, SelectedItems properties respectively.
