It would be nice to be able to drag a large image around the viewable screen
area when the URL points to an image (.jpg, .png, .gif, etc). Action would
involve clicking down on the image and moving the mouse to cause the scrollbars
(and image) to move with the mouse to enable quick viewing of images larger than
the window.

Reproducible: Always

This is not the same as 22775 (and probably not dependent on it). (At least not
he first 1/3 of it, it went on and on about middle button autoscroll which
nothing to do with implementing a grab tool). This is new functionality (as I
indicated). I want left-right panning too. I'm talking about duplicating the
effect of the "hand"/"grab" tool in photoshop or acrobat. With a left click on
an image (in a URL that points directly to an image), you can grab a spot on the
image and drag it causing either/both scroll bars to move.

If you have acrobat, pull up any page in a PDF and zoom in close. Next click on
the hand tool in the tool bar. click anywhere in the document window and drag
the mouse around. The page with move around in sync to the mouse movements
allowing you to move around on the page.

Also, I don't to reduce the image size. I want to see the details.
