If you create conditional formatting, the rows that obey the rule should not be affected if they are selected.
To support this formatting the format.ApplyOnSelectedRows property must be set to false.
Test project:
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Telerik.WinControls.UI;
namespace Lab.Grid
{
public partial class GridConditionalFormattingForm : Form
{
private RadGridView gridView = new RadGridView();
public GridConditionalFormattingForm()
{
InitializeComponent();
gridView.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
gridView.Parent = this;
gridView.MultiSelect = true;
DataTable data = new DataTable();
data.Columns.Add("ID");
data.Columns.Add("Name");
data.Rows.Add(1, "Name1");
data.Rows.Add(2, "Name2");
data.Rows.Add(1, "Name3");
data.Rows.Add(4, "Name4");
data.Rows.Add(1, "Name5");
gridView.DataSource = data;
}
protected override void OnLoad(System.EventArgs e)
{
base.OnLoad(e);
ConditionalFormattingObject format = new ConditionalFormattingObject("MyCondition", ConditionTypes.Equal, "1", "", true);
format.CellBackColor = Color.Red;
format.ApplyOnSelectedRows = false;
gridView.Columns[0].ConditionalFormattingObjectList.Add(format);
}
}
}

related to fitering functionality of RadGridView control
Comment: 
Refreshing the master template of RadGridView in the CellEndEdit event handler is not allowed from the current architecture of the control. Use radGridView1.TableElement.Update(GridUINotifyAction.DataChanged) instead.

The AlternatingRowColor value is restarted when the ViewDefinition is changed.

When canceling the CurrentRowChanging event and the changing row is the new row, then the click here to add new row text will not be visible anymore.

Replacing the RadTextBoxItem with RadTextBoxElement in the RadGridView editor will provide richer theming capabilities.

If you change the values of the other business objects, when one of them is changed, RadGridView's rows' values are not affected.

The issue occurs when using a BindingSource bound to a DataSet as DataSource for combo box columns in RadGridView.

RadGridView does not clear the GridSpinEditor value when navigating to another cell.

RadGridView. Incorrect behavior of arrow keys when RightToLeft is enabled.

Save\Load functionality of the control should work with ColumnGroupsViewDefinition.

When switching from a child view that does not contain rows to one containing rows, the child view size is not updated and no child rows are shown.

If you go to The Demos >> Grid View >> Performance >> Load 50,000 rows. And then drag the group to group by the first two columns, then editing cells is slow.

RadGridView can not change the current column (by using the IsCurrent of the desired column) in the CurrentColumnChanged event.

The issue may be releated to measure layout logic.

One thing more I noticed.
Actually I do not think, this issue is a sorting issue, but rather some rendering issue, where the old version is much faster than the new one. 
If you compare the scrolling performance between the new and the old version, also here the old version is significantly faster.
So I think this is a more general issue, something with the rendering - or what you call it - of the visible part of the grid, which are faster in the old version.
Am I the only customer noticing this ?

steps to reproduce: 

1- Apply filter in a date column by choosing Between. 

2- Leave default settings (change dates) and confirm 

3- Save layout 

4- Close the form 

5- Open the form and load the layout

RadGridView does not handle nullable DateTime objects correctly.

IIF function in Expression for calculated columns does not work.

Provide calculation of the 'Ceiling' function in a column expression:
column.Expression = "Ceiling(ColumnName)";

RadGridView does not update its UI when a new item is added to/remove from its child BindingList collection or a property of the child object is edited (INotifyPropertyChanged is implemented for the child object).

Comments: We will not support the case when adding/removing items and object relational hierarchy is used.

When Excel-like filtering dialog is used without explicitly setting the filter operation the filter dialog executes Contains operation and when the filtering is confirmed through the OK button, RadGridView executes Equals operation.

Comment: the issue is not the equals operations, the problem is that we escape the '*' characters.
