Large set of data not fully rendered #460
Description
Describe the bug
When trying to render a large list of items (1 million row for example) then scroll to the last item in the list, only 958.697 rows are rendered when the row height is equal to 35, if we set the row height to 50, then only 671.088 rows are rendered.
I think that this issue is related to a browser limitation (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16637530/whats-the-maximum-pixel-value-of-css-width-and-height-properties), still i noticed that libraries like react-virtualized doesn't have this issue, so i believe that there must be a way to fix it. May i get any more clarifications or ways to fix it? Thanks.
Your minimal, reproducible example
https://codesandbox.io/s/practical-ives-holiyy?file=/src/main.tsx
Steps to reproduce
- Run the sandbox
- Scroll to the last element in the virtualized list
Expected behavior
The last element should be 999.999 (since the rows index starts from 0).

The react-virtualized library works around this issue by scaling the the scroll position it sets for a row based on the ratio of "max CSS height allowed by browser" to "computed height of all rows" if the latter is greater than the former: https://github.com/bvaughn/react-virtualized/blob/master/source/Grid/utils/ScalingCellSizeAndPositionManager.js

We are also facing the same issue in our application where we are using react-virtual to render millions of rows. We have implemented a jump scroll approach which allows us to drag the scroll to any position and render the corresponding records. Essentially when we drag it to the end it just renders the rows based on the
max-scroll-positionmax-limit of the browser instead of the max lines available in the report.This stops us from rendering the whole report. It will really help if this issue is Prioritized to be fixed in the library to scale the scrollPosition / Offset.

Would love to see some links and prior art on this topic.

Is this not enough? https://github.com/bvaughn/react-virtualized/blob/master/source/Grid/utils/ScalingCellSizeAndPositionManager.js
If the total height of all the rows is greater than the maximum allowed by the browser (this is different per browser, but a single default value of 1,500,000px can safely be used) then the scroll position needs to be a percentage of that max height, not the total height of all the rows.

Fast grid (https://github.com/gabrielpetersson/fast-grid) seems to handle many millions of rows.

Consolidating: this is the browser's maximum element height limit, also tracked in #616, where #1172 proposes built-in scroll scaling. Closing in favour of #616 so the discussion stays in one place.
