Description
The
scrollToIndex(int)
method inTreeGrid
is directly inherited fromGrid
but has some issues. The grid needs to know the entire tree structure to accurately calculate a node's index (in a pre-order traversal method). Since it uses lazy loading for performance reasons, there is no reliable way to consistently scroll to a node's position.Let's document this behavior in the
TreeGrid
class version of the method and discourage the use of it until we find a proper solution.Related: vaadin/web-components#1016, #3505
