Hello Bjorn!

For now if I want to scroll map beyond its size I need to set small zoom. But then I lose ability to place objects precisely. That scrolling policy make sense for tiles, because we can not place them beyond the grid. But for objects sometimes is need to go outside the map sizes and current scrolling behavior is not so comfortably.

Any chances that it will be changed?
