Description
Describe the bug
I am having trouble getting a virtual scroll running properly. I have data that is very much dynamic within its size. There can be 1 or around 600000 entries that I want to display. Sadly I am having trouble getting something running properly. I forked the dynamic example from the docs.
When setting the entries to around 1000 the scroll works, but when increasing the amount of entries to 1000000 I can't scroll to the bottom and only see around 400000 entries. Playing around with the estimateSize property fixes the issue, but when scrolling the scroll behaviour is weird and jumps in big chunks.
Here is an example to show what I mean: https://stackblitz.com/edit/tanstack-virtual-pitwef?file=src%2Fapp%2Frow-virtualizer-dynamic.component.ts,src%2Fapp%2Fapp.routes.ts,src%2Fapp%2Fapp.component.ts,src%2Fapp%2Frow-virtualizer-dymaic-test.component.ts
Your minimal, reproducible example
Steps to reproduce
- Add a virtual-scroll container
- Set count to 9999 and estimateSize
- Change count to 999999 or more
Expected behavior
When the count of rows changes drastically, the virtual-scroll should be able to handle both cases without having to change the config programmatically.

Research direction
Start by running the linked StackBlitz reproduction, especially src/app/row-virtualizer-dynamic.component.ts and the related app route and test component, then compare it with the Angular dynamic example in the documentation. Reproduce the failure when the row count grows from 9999 to 999999 or more, and verify that scrolling reaches the end without requiring a programmatic estimateSize change or producing large jumps.
