…rovenance The deferral keeps scrollTop writes from cancelling touch momentum on iOS WebKit (TanStack#884). Its gate included `isScrolling`, which is set by any scroll event — including the echo of the virtualizer's own programmatic write — so a scrollToIndex / scrollToOffset landing had its measurement compensation deferred past a paint and snapped a beat later (TanStack#1250). A programmatic scroll has no momentum to protect; only a touch does. - Gate deferral on `_iosTouching || _iosJustTouchEnded` only, in both applyScrollAdjustment and the end-anchor prepend sync in _willUpdate. - Span momentum without `isScrolling`: every scroll event that arrives while the post-touchend tail is armed re-arms its 150 ms timer, so the tail covers the whole fling and self-terminates after the last frame. A scroll event with no preceding touch never opens it, so nothing can latch (a tap that does not scroll leaves no state behind). - Absolute scroll commands close the tail: their write cancels momentum anyway, so a landing issued from a tap handler compensates synchronously. `_iosTouching` is left alone while a finger is down. - Handle touchcancel like touchend so a system gesture stealing the touch cannot strand `_iosTouching`. - Drop `isScrolling` from the flush predicate so gate and flush agree and a deferred delta can never be stranded. Ten iOS tests that simulated a scroll with no touch and asserted deferral are rewritten to drive the gesture (touchstart, touchend, momentum frames, tail expiry). New regression tests cover the no-touch landing, the tap that does not scroll, the tap-triggered landing, the finger-down command, the momentum re-arm, touchcancel, and both sides of the anchor-sync gate.

`_closeIosTouchWindow()` call in `scrollToIndex` to after the `offsetInfo`
guard, so the no-target path from `getOffsetForIndex` returning undefined leaves
the iOS touch window intact. Add a regression test covering this no-target

…twice When an end-anchored prepend landed while a finger was down, setOptions had already folded the anchor delta into the tracked scrollOffset for a DOM sync that _willUpdate then deferred. The flush writes `scrollOffset + deferred`, so the delta landed twice and threw the reader a whole prepend past their row once the gesture settled — reproduced in the react chat example with a synthesized touch fling: the view sat at scrollTop 0 through the fling, then jumped to ~2000px for a ~1000px prepend. - In the deferred branch, hand scrollOffset back to the DOM's value and re-render the range for it; the flush adds the delta on top of that. - Compare first measurements against the offset the viewport will sit at once pending writes land (tracked + scrollAdjustments + deferred), so rows prepended above the reader still have their estimate error compensated while the finger is down. Off iOS the deferred term is 0. The 'TanStack#884 prepend during an active touch' unit test now asserts the tracked offset stays at the DOM value and the single flush lands exactly one measured prepend lower; it fails on the previous source (200 vs 100). Adds a react-virtual e2e spec that puts Chromium on the iOS code path (iPhone UA + touch emulation) and drives a real touch gesture through CDP: a prepend landing mid-touch is deferred and applied in one write after release, and a programmatic landing with no touch is exact. It cannot model WebKit's momentum physics, only the bookkeeping around them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…does iOS scrolls on a separate thread. When a deferred correction flushes and the user touches the screen within a frame, the scrolling thread still holds the pre-write position and wins: scrollTop reverts and the next scroll event reports the old offset. Core treated that as the user having scrolled, so the correction was gone and the reader sat a whole prepend away from their row. Captured on-device: a fling into the top whose history prepend flushed correctly to 1508px and was reverted to 0 the moment the finger came back down, which also re-fired the app's auto-load from the bogus 0. Record each compensation-type write on iOS (adjustment, flush, prepend anchor sync) with its target, delta and time. If the next scroll event arrives with a finger down, within 120ms of the write, and reports an offset more than half the delta away from the target, the write was undone: put the missing delta back into the deferred accumulator, reset scrollAdjustments (its share never reached the DOM either), and let the flush replay it once the gesture settles. A landed write echoes near its target and a pan after a landed write moves by pixels, so neither qualifies. Three unit tests: the undone flush is re-deferred and replayed exactly once; a landed write's echo leaves nothing deferred; a pan after a landed write is not mistaken for a revert.

…as a target Review follow-up. scrollToIndex dropped the deferred compensation and closed the post-touchend tail before checking whether getOffsetForIndex found a measurement for the index. When it did not, no write followed, but the fling still owned the scroll with its gate now open: the next resize inside the momentum passed applyScrollAdjustment's touch gate and wrote scrollTop into the fling. Move both resets after the target guard (the deferred reset sat before it on main as well). Regression test: a no-target scrollToIndex during momentum leaves the deferred delta, the tail and its timer untouched, and a following resize still defers; fails on the previous source.

…mpensation Review follow-up. The second iOS-emulated test used the chat page, whose rows equal their estimate, so a programmatic landing there never needed compensation and the test could not distinguish the old `isScrolling` gate from touch provenance. Move it to /scroll/: 1002 rows of random height against a 50px estimate, so landing on index 1000 measures rows above the fold and needs compensation. Assert the landing is exact (item 1000 flush with the viewport bottom) and that scrollTop does not move once settled. Against main's core the landing is off by 22-39px — the deferred delta that used to snap in ~150ms later. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

On iOS WebKit, writing
scrollTopduring a touch fling cancels the momentum, so above-fold measurement compensation is deferred and flushed once the gesture settles (#884). That deferral's gate includedisScrolling, which is set by any scroll event, including the echo of the virtualizer's own programmatic write. So ascrollToIndex/scrollToOffsetlanding had its compensation deferred past a paint and snapped a beat later (#1250). A programmatic scroll has no momentum to protect; only a touch does. One gate, two symptoms.Closes #1250
Closes #884
Supersedes #1254 and #1189.
🎯 Changes
_iosTouching || _iosJustTouchEnded, in bothapplyScrollAdjustmentand the end-anchor prepend sync in_willUpdate.isScrollingis out of the gate.isScrolling: iOS fires no touch events during momentum, only scroll events. Every scroll event that arrives while the post-touchend tail is armed re-arms its 150 ms timer, so the tail covers the whole fling and self-terminates after the last frame. A scroll event with no preceding touch never opens it, so nothing can latch: a tap that does not scroll leaves no state behind.scrollTopwrite cancels momentum anyway, so a landing issued from a tap handler compensates synchronously._iosTouchingis left alone while a finger is down.scrollByis unchanged: it is relative and builds on the current offset.touchcancelis handled liketouchend, so a system gesture stealing the touch cannot strand_iosTouching.isScrollingis dropped from_flushIosDeferredIfReadytoo, so a deferred delta can never be held by a condition the flush path does not re-check.No new fields, no new options.
Why not #1254
#1254 added an
_isUserScrollingflag set ontouchstartand cleared only when a scroll event reportsisScrolling: false. A touch that never scrolls (a tap, a long-press, a horizontal swipe) latched it forever, deferring every subsequent compensation and stranding the delta, and a landing triggered from a tap handler still deferred. Review on that PR has the details; both cases are regression tests here.Relation to #1189
#1189 sidestepped the write entirely with a CSS
marginTopoffset during momentum. This PR keeps the deferral model that landed onmainand makes its trigger correct; it does not replace the CSS-offset idea. See "Follow-ups" below: a CSS stand-in for the postponed write is the natural next step on top of this gate, and is how react-virtuoso handles the same WebKit constraint.Second fix: a deferred prepend correction was applied twice
Found while chasing a jump in the react chat example: with the iOS path active, a fling to the top that lands on a prepend sat at
scrollTop0 through the fling and then jumped to ~2000px for a ~1000px prepend, about 18 rows toward newer messages. Same onmain.setOptionsfolds the anchor delta into the trackedscrollOffseteagerly, assuming_willUpdatewill sync the DOM. When that sync is deferred (finger down), the flush later writesscrollOffset + deferred, so the delta lands twice. Fixed by handingscrollOffsetback to the DOM's value in the deferred branch and re-rendering the range, and by comparing first measurements against the offset the viewport will land on (tracked + adjustments + deferred) so prepended rows above the reader still get their estimate error compensated during the touch. After the fix the example lands at exactly the measured prepend height (1155px) on the same row.Reproducing the iOS path in Chromium
isIOSWebKit()keys off the user agent, so an iPhone UA plus touch emulation puts Chromium on the iOS code path, and CDPInput.dispatchTouchEvent/Input.synthesizeScrollGesturedrive real touch gestures. Newe2e/app/test/ios-touch-deferral.spec.tsuses this: a prepend landing mid-touch is deferred and applied in one write after release; a programmatic landing with no touch is exact. This exercises the deferral state machine end to end in CI. It cannot model WebKit's momentum physics, which is still what a device check is for.Third fix: a touch that starts right after a compensation write undoes it (iOS)
Captured on an iPhone with a per-frame recorder in the react chat example. A fling into the top lands a prepend while the post-touch tail is armed; the anchor is deferred as designed and the flush at tail expiry writes
scrollTop1508. Within ~10 ms the finger comes back down and WebKit reverts the write to 0: iOS scrolls on a separate thread, and a touch that begins before the write is committed wins with the pre-write position. The next scroll event reports 0, core treated it as the user scrolling, the correction was lost, and the example's auto-load re-fired from the bogus 0.Each compensation-type write on iOS (adjustment, flush, prepend anchor sync) is now recorded with its target, delta and time. If the next scroll event arrives with a finger down, within 120 ms, and reports an offset more than half the delta away from the target, the write was undone: the missing delta goes back into the deferred accumulator,
scrollAdjustmentsis reset, and the flush replays it once the gesture settles. A landed write echoes near its target and a pan after a landed write moves by pixels, so neither qualifies. Three unit tests; the first fails on the previous source.Tests

Those deltas belong to rows now below the viewport, and a clamp would have absorbed them on desktop; the bottom edge already drops them (anchorTo: 'end': iOS deferred scroll adjustments replay stale deltas after the position is already correct (two manifestations) #1233), the top edge does not.
