I have a hacky use-at-your-own-risk solution which uses the Markdown component with JavaScript injection. IA has said that they plan on patching script injection, but for the time being it works. It could be worth looking into @bmusson's Embr-Periscope module which provides a way of executing JavaScript.

> Embr-Periscope An Ignition module that includes design extensions and enhancements for Perspective. A periscope provides a new perspective by allowing users to see over, around, or through obstacles, offering a unique view otherwise obstructed. NOTE: This modules is still in pre-release. All versions before v1.0.0 should be considered unstable.

To get it to work you'll have to:

1. Set your table's `meta.domId` to match the ID in the script, currently "scrolling-table" (or change the ID)
2. Set `props.virtualized` to false on the table
3. Create the Markdown component by copying and pasting the JSON below

Markdown component with script:

```json
[
  {
    "type": "ia.display.markdown",
    "version": 0,
    "props": {
      "markdown": {
        "sourcePos": true,
        "escapeHtml": false
      },
      "source": "<img src=\"x\" style=\"display:none\" onerror=\"(() => {\n const ID = '#scrolling-table';\n const PAUSE = 3000;\n const init = () => {\n const el = document.querySelector(ID);\n if (!el) return setTimeout(init, 500);\n if (el.initialized) return;\n el.initialized = true;\n el.scrollIsReset = false;\n const startScroll = () => {\n if (el.scrollInterval || el.scrollIsReset) return;\n el.scrollInterval = setInterval(() => {\n const body = el.querySelector('.flexBody');\n if (!body || el.scrollIsReset) return;\n if (body.scrollTop + body.offsetHeight >= body.scrollHeight - 2) {\n el.scrollIsReset = true;\n el.scrollTimeout = setTimeout(() => {\n body.scrollTo({ top: 0, behavior: 'smooth' });\n body.addEventListener('scrollend', function onEnd() {\n body.removeEventListener('scrollend', onEnd);\n el.scrollTimeout = setTimeout(() => { el.scrollIsReset = false; }, PAUSE);\n }, { once: true });\n }, PAUSE);\n } else {\n body.scrollTop += 1;\n }\n }, 30);\n };\n el.addEventListener('mouseover', () => { \n clearInterval(el.scrollInterval); el.scrollInterval = null;\n clearTimeout(el.scrollTimeout); el.scrollIsReset = false;\n const body = el.querySelector('.flexBody');\n if (body) { body.scrollTop = body.scrollTop; }\n }, true);\n el.addEventListener('mouseout', (e) => {\n if (!el.contains(e.relatedTarget)) startScroll();\n }, true);\n el.scrollIsReset = true;\n el.scrollTimeout = setTimeout(() => { el.scrollIsReset = false; startScroll(); }, PAUSE);\n };\n init();\n})()\">"
