System Information
Windows 7 64bit, Nvidia GTX 660 TI, Intel Core i5 3570k

Short description of error
"view selected" (bpy.ops.view3d.view_selected()) does not work if called from an update Property Method.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Just run the script in my blend file. I created a UI List on the right "sidebar" in 3D-View where you can chose an Element from my listvar (Black_objnameslist).
I want the view to focus on this selected object, but it does not work, although the context is in 3D-View !

There seems to be no .blend file attach?

But note that this operator needs to run in the context of the main region of the 3D view, not the sidebar. So you may need to set context to EXEC_REGION_WIN or INVOKE_REGION_WIN to make it run in the other region:

Change this:

if bpy.ops.view3d.view_selected.poll():
    bpy.ops.view3d.view_select()

to this:

try:
    bpy.ops.view3d.view_selected('EXEC_REGION_WIN')
except:
    pass

Change this: ``` if bpy.ops.view3d.view_selected.poll(): bpy.ops.view3d.view_select() ``` to this: ``` try: bpy.ops.view3d.view_selected('EXEC_REGION_WIN') except: pass
