I have a Timeline that is a group made up of fields and buttons which is generated from a databse. I just ran into a situation where the group size is set to 1 when the trying to set the width to a large number (60,000 pixels in this case). In my code I set the width of the group to the formattedWidth of the group. The formattedWidth is returned correctly but the group width is set to 1.
I saw your (excellent) bug report.
A workaround might be to maintain objects within some range of the current time position (window in a generic sense). As the user scrolls to one direction (somehow), objects are created in that direction and are deleted off the other end. This means you need to keep the database around or an equivalent. This might create a faster initial response if you were creating this at the start each time the stack is opened. This does not need to be on an individual object basis, but at whatever logical level is convenient. Some decorative graphics might be reused.
Another might be to make a 2D timeline.
Another might be to switch to cards.
Switch to a vertical timeline and use very short fields?
I hope you find something.
