CSS Grid Layout in Chrome seems not to work properly with more than 1000 rows

I have created an example of a sliding grid with fixed headers, using the "CSS Grid Layout" and "sticky position" technologies. For convenience, the content of the grid is generated by a script, which I think works well.

function fillGrid(selector, rows) {
  let cols = 3;
  let grid = $(selector);
  
  grid.empty();
  
  //cr header
  grid.append($('<div>').addClass('hcr').text('#'));
  
  //col headers
  for (let c = 1; c <= cols; c++) {
    grid.append($('<div>').addClass('hc').text(`Column ${c}`));
  }
  
  for (let r = 1; r <= rows; r++) {
    //row header
    grid.append($('<div>').addClass('hr').text(r));
    
    //cells
    for (let c = 1; c <= cols; c++) {
      grid.append($('<div>').addClass('c').text(`Cell ${r}-${c}`));
    }
  }
}

$('#reload').click(e => {
  var rows = Number.parseInt($('#rows').val());
  fillGrid('#grid1', rows);
})

$(document).ready(function() {
  fillGrid('#grid1', 10);
});

body {
  font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;
  font-size: 12px;
}

.grid {
  display: grid;
  width: 600px;
  height: 300px;
  grid-template-columns: 40px 200px 100px 500px;
  grid-auto-rows: min-content;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  overflow: scroll;
  margin-top: 20px;
  background-color: #aaa;
  margin-right: 10px;
}

.hcr, .hc, .hr {
  background-color: #ddd;
  border-right: 1px solid #ccc;
  border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
  padding: 2px;
  position: sticky;
}

.hcr {
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  z-index: 1;
  text-align: center;
}

.hc {
  top: 0;
  white-space: nowrap;
}

.hr {
  left: 0;
  text-align: center;
}

.c {
  padding: 2px;
  border-right: 1px solid #ccc;
  border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
  background-color: #fff;
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div>
  <input type="text" id="rows" value="10" />
  <input type="button" id="reload" value="Reload" />
</div>
<div class="grid" id="grid1"></div>

Up to 999 rows the grid works perfectly. When more than 999 rows are loaded, only the cells up to row 999 are displayed, while the following cells are incorrectly positioned on the left above the header of row 999.

The same example works correctly in Firefox 56 and Edge 16 (version 16299).

Where am I wrong?

Solution

Ok, the 1000 rows (and also 1000 columns) limit has been intentionally introduced into the Chrome engine for reasons of stability and RAM consumption. A new version of the Grid functionality seems to be in progress and should solve the problem.

UPD: from Chrome version 96.0.4642 items amount extended to 100,000 rows/columns
