Research direction
The issue requests programmatic scrolling to a table row and fixed thead with scrollable tbody. Comments may discuss similar attempts or workarounds. To implement, investigate how react bootstrap table2 renders rows (e.g., in src/row renderer.js or similar), consider adding a prop for row IDs or using a ref to the table body, and implement scroll logic using element.scrollIntoView() or a library like react scroll. The thead fix can be achieved with CSS position: sticky. Check existing PRs or forks for similar solutions.
