Description

I'm using cdk-virtual-scroll-viewport and I'm changing dynamically by binding its dir property from ltr to rtl, to obtain a bottom to top scoller. I can see the change in the html, but visually it has no effect.

Reproduction

Steps to reproduce:

  1. cdk-virtual-scroll-viewport with vertical orientation and rtl dir
Expected Behavior

Vertical scroller, oriented from bottom to top

Actual Behavior

Vertical scroller, oriented from top to bottom, no change vs. vertical orientation and ltr dir.

Environment

  • CDK/Material: 12.0.4
  • Browser(s): Chrome Version 97.0.4692.71 (Official Build) (64-bit)
  • Operating System (e.g. Windows, macOS, Ubuntu): Windows 10 64-bit

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with cdk-virtual-scroll-viewport in vertical orientation, binding its dir property from ltr to rtl. Trace how the viewport handles direction changes and verify the expected bottom-to-top visual orientation; the issue is done when the dynamic change takes effect instead of remaining top-to-bottom.
