-lajos My only concern about extending beyond the scrollbar limits is you impart a discontinuity when the user switches back to the scroll bar with the mouse, under circumstances of having travelled beyond the scrollbar limits. Then moves back into the normal range. This concern is what directed my original thinking. Maybe you have a solution for this. If you have something you really like, or want to offer TWO solutions, controlled with an #ifdef your patch can also simply do it both ways. We can manually supply the #define for testing, don't think its worth the time to put that #define in the CMakeLists.txt configuration yet, or ever. I don't think this raises to the level "we need to support both ways long term". We will probably come to a conclusion on which is best and stick with one. If you still have a lot of work on the harder one you mention, then maybe skip it.
