If anyone gets to this example and they are facing scrolling issues, its probably because of the position: fixed property in the _cellRangeRenderer cells. Update those to postion: absolute and scrolling should be good

Places where it needs updating -

• fixed-left-corner-cell
• fixed-header-cell
• fixed-column-cell
• scrollable-body-cell

The fixed cells flicker because scrollLeft, scrollTop are not updated smoothly by the browser.
Using pure logic scrolling seems to be the only way to resolve the flickering and achieve a smooth scrolling experience.

I ended up using
https://github.com/gooddata/zynga-scroller-es6 and wrapped the grid in a component similar to https://github.com/facebook/fixed-data-table/blob/master/site/examples/TouchableArea.js

Hey @vinayaknagpal. Any chance you'd be willing to share a Gist or Plunker of your react-virtualized + zynga-scroller-es6 combination? 😄

@bvaughn
Sure. Will put together an example and share in a few days. Racing a release deadline at the moment.
