Feature Request - Ability to bypass scroll checks

What’s your use case?

We are using a custom variant of perfect-scrollbar where the scrollbars are rendered outside of the .ReactVirtualized__Grid element. It works great, but we are forced to override the overflow properties of the grid in a parent component’s componentDidUpdate.

element.style.overflowX = element.style.overflowY = 'hidden';

I can imagine this thrashing causing a performance issue.

What interface do you have in mind?

A prop on List/Grid called externalScrollbars of type boolean, defaulting to false that would bypass calculating scrollbar height/width, and always set the overflow X and Y properties to 'hidden'.

The Table component does not support horizontal scrolling. Unfortunately there’s no simple way to do this that doesn’t result in awkward scrollbars like you describe. Probably best to make your own Table-like-abstraction on top of Grid or perhaps wait for me to finish the MultiGrid component (in progress here).

I realize this is probably not the answer you were hoping for. Happy holidays though!

We have some similar issue with the scrollbar. We want to scroll the table both horizontally and vertically, problem with the vertical scrollbar that it renders at the end of the line. So to see and use the vertical scrollbar we must move the horizontal scrollbar (shown in the two screenshots). Horizontal scrolling is working as we want it, is there a way to make vertical scrollbar to behave the same way?

Can’t see the vertical scrollbar here ^
