useWindowVirtualizer with measureElement breaks scroll restoration #4107

Which project does this relate to?

Router

Describe the bug

When using
"@tanstack/react-virtual": "3.13.8"
and
"@tanstack/react-router": "1.112.12"

If the page contains a virtualized list like this:

  const virtualizer = useWindowVirtualizer({
    gap: 16,
    overscan: 4,
    count: data.items.length,
    estimateSize: constant(188),
    scrollMargin: listRef.current?.offsetTop ?? 0,
  });

And the items use:

              ref={virtualizer.measureElement}
              data-index={index}

But the actual element sizes differ from estimateSize, triggering re-measurement on mount — in that case, scrollRestoration breaks.

This might be an issue on the @tanstack/react-router side; I’ll duplicate this issue there as well.

Current workaround: add this option to the virtualizer:

scrollToFn: () => null,

Steps to Reproduce the Bug or Issue

1 Open the Home page
2 Scroll down a bit
3 Navigate to the List page
4 You'll notice that the page is not scrolled to the top

In the code, there's a commented line:

in code there are commented string with
scrollToFn: () => null

Uncommenting this line.
After doing that, navigation with scroll restoration works perfectly.

Expected behavior

Virtualizer does not break scroll restoration.
