>> The problem mentioned in the JBS issue (and in related issues) is that the VirtualFlow implementation depends on cell index and cell count, instead of on pixel count. The latter is unknown when the VirtualFlow is created, and pre-calculating the size of a large set of items would be very expensive.
>> Therefore, this PR uses a combination of a gradual calculation of the total size in pixels (estimatedSize) and a smoothing part that prevents the scrollback to scroll in the reverse direction as the requested change.
>> This PR currently breaks a number of tests that hard-coded depend on a number of evaluations. This is inherit to the approach of this PR: if we want to estimate the total size, we need to do some additional calculations. In this PR, I try to balance between consistent behavior and performance.
