excel allows their user to highlight and copy from

i can highlight object in draw that are off screen.
mso handles this by causing the screen to scroll when

scroll and so i can't highlight things off screen.

i'm experiencing some very annoying jumping behavior

i inserted a frame and inserted some elements inside
