Is there a way around the limit on scrollToIndex

[jacob-pecile-CH]

When I attempt to scroll to item very far down the list I get the warning Failed to scroll to index 969 after 10 attempts.

Is there a way to increase the number of attempts or remove the limit all together?

That limit was not configurable in the older implementation. It was a guard around repeated scrollToIndex correction attempts when the target row was still being re-measured.

The better fix today is to upgrade. In the current @tanstack/virtual-core release, scrollToIndex no longer uses that old “10 attempts” path; it stores a scroll target and reconciles it as measurements change.

If you are stuck on the older version, the practical workaround is to make the jump less dependent on late measurements: provide a closer estimateSize, use measureElement for dynamic rows, or do a two-step jump near the target and then call scrollToIndex(969) again after the target range has rendered/measured. Removing the guard would usually just hide the symptom and can leave the virtualizer fighting unstable measurements.
