Description
#### What is the expected behavior?
Users should be able to utilize Virtual Scrolling with the Tree without worrying about other functionality breaking.
#### What is the current behavior?
When using Tooltips on Tree Nodes in combination with Virtual Scrolling, the Tooltips appear improperly without context.
#### What are the steps to reproduce?
Apply Virtual Scrolling to a Tree and then expose Tooltips on the Tree Node Definitions.
[Demo](https://stackblitz.com/edit/simplified-material-tree-with-virtual-scroll-xkvghx?file=app%2Ftree-flat-overview-example.html) - Mousing over any of the items in the Flat Tree should display a Tool Tip containing the Node's name, seemingly randomly it does accurately display the name in the proper place, most of the time you're left with a small gray box.
Edit: I have updated the demo to include a behavior where clicking on the text of a node will display a Snack Bar containing the node's name. This is also appearing as a gray bar at the top of the screen in many situations. This seems to be related to overlays as a whole in this context.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by running the linked StackBlitz demo and reproducing the tooltip and snack-bar failures with an Angular Material Tree using virtual scrolling. Trace how the Tree node overlays behave while items are recycled; done means tooltips show the correct node name in the correct place and the snack bar appears normally.
