The DataGridView creates a new CurrencyManager when the data source is changed. If this CM contains items, the default position is 0, thus pushing this to the DGV and selects the first row.

To fix this, just set the position of the CM instead:

Me.dgvPreviouslyCut.DataSource = my_new_datasource

Dim cm As CurrencyManager = CType(Me.BindingContext(my_new_datasource), CurrencyManager)

If ((Me.CurrentSelectedRow > -1) AndAlso (Me.CurrentSelectedRow < cm.Count)) Then
    cm.Position = Me.CurrentSelectedRow
End If
