Gives the segment view a real vertical scrollbar (#326) by making the scroll container span the whole book rather than just the mounted window.

The list is virtualized: only a window of segments is mounted, with leading and trailing spacers standing in for the rest. Sizing those spacers needs a height for every segment, mounted or not, so src/utils/segment-heights.ts predicts each one from its token count and the measured wrap width. Predictions are deliberately approximate — they set the thumb's proportions and where a drag lands, while mounted segments lay out at whatever height they really have. Nothing measures a mounted segment back into the table.

Also included, beyond the scrollbar itself:

  • New view option: "Show words only in the active verse" (interlinearizer.chipsOnActiveSegmentOnly, default off). Renders every segment but the active verse as plain text, which keeps a long scroll smooth on hardware that cannot paint a full view of chips. It persists as a Paratext project setting and appears in the View Options dropdown. The height model has to know about it, since it changes which renderer — and so which height — each segment gets.
  • The skim window is now sized in pixels rather than segment counts, which the per-segment renderer above makes necessary: segments in one mode can now differ enough in height that a count no longer covers a predictable distance.

This change is Reviewable

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Update heightTableRef in a layout effect.

useSegmentWindow installs a scroll listener that reads offsetToIndexRef.current. That callback reads heightTableRef.current and can call setRange when the resolved index falls outside the current range. A paused and discarded concurrent render can leave that listener reading an uncommitted heightTable, which can produce the wrong window. useEffect leaves the previous table active until passive effects run. The existing useLatestRef pattern is not suitable because it also writes during render.

Move ref writes into an event handler or effect. Render must stay pure because React can replay or discard it. The predictable null-guarded lazy initialization pattern remains supported.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Add a baseline-specific measurement source.

The baseline branch still requires metrics from a token-chip label. On an initial baseline-text render, no chip exists, so metrics is undefined. The fallback then measures every complete baselineText value as 65px. Ordinary container widths consequently predict one row even when the baseline text wraps.

Read the baseline text element's font after mount and rebuild the table. Add an initial-baseline regression test with wrapped text.

Clear measured heights when hasFreeTranslation changes.

When showFreeTranslation is enabled in read-only mode and a segment enters or leaves segmentsWithFreeTranslation, hasFreeTranslation changes. useSegmentHeights rebuilds the table, but measuredHeightById supersedes the new prediction. The reset effect does not depend on hasFreeTranslation, so an offscreen segment can retain its old height until it mounts and is measured again. Add hasFreeTranslation to the reset effect dependencies.

The cache reset occurs in a passive effect, so the first render after free-translation availability or visibility changes still builds the table from stale offscreen measurements. That transient table is passed to SegmentListView for its spacers and scrollbar geometry. Invalidate those overrides while deriving the table (or otherwise before exposing it) so the changed layout never publishes stale offsets.

The flat 72px constant came from a sample of single-line segments only;
height is lines × 20 + 18, and baseline text wraps as one run, not as
chips.
Analysis state moves a segment's height; measure the mounted ones and
wrap baseline text between words rather than at the raw wrap width.
The drift check now reuses one predicted table per layout instead of
rebuilding the whole book on every segment that scrolls into view.
The table folds each segment's gap into its height entry, but a measured
height is the element alone, so every gapped segment read as drifted.
