For those wandering why this is an issue. If you are using virtualised scrolling [0] to display a very long list of items, this limits the maximum length of the scrolling area, and therefor the maximum number of items.

Say you have a display that will show all items in a database, each row is 20px high, this limits the maximum number of items you can show to 894,784. That may seem absurd, but if you have a UI that allows you to jump to a specific item in the scrolling list, you would expect to be able to do it.
