Description

As the title suggest, when I use a Client side loading with more than 30K of rows, the scroller only shows a white space.

The trouble is even happening in the production example of datatables (https://datatables.net/extensions/scroller/examples/initialisation/large_js_source.html)

Is there a solution for this?

Greetings

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the linked production example, large_js_source.html, using client-side loading with more than 30,000 rows. Trace the scroller behavior when the table becomes blank and confirm that the completed behavior renders the rows instead of white space.
