This feature would make it easy to look at what section of a large images that
you want to look at (only useful if your zoomed in, or the image is larger than

1. Middle click on an image that is larger than the window its displayed in
2. Hand cursor is produced
3. While you are still clicked (mousedown), move the mouse around to move around
the image (2D)

Actual Results:  
nothing

Expected Results:  
image would move around; scroll bars should move too.

3D Studio Max, photoshop, and other programs implement this feature
