If I want to select a rectangular area larger than the current screen, I normally find it easiest to zoom out a bit first. Zooming is easy with a wheel mouse (or two fingers on a MacBook or PowerBook Touchpad). Zooming without a wheel mouse is a bit awkward because the zoom slider is too short - a small movement makes a big difference. It would be nice to increase it's length - possible even put it vertically along the whole height of the screen. The new MacBooks have multi-touch touchpads that let you zoom and rotate by spreading and twisting 2 fingers. Sometimes rotating would be really handy in JOSM.
