from an email from marco:

> Linking elements near the border of the viewport.  
> If I try to link an card that is near the edge of the screen, the view starts scrolling as soon as I get nearby.  
> This makes me miss the connection as the view shifts.  
> Furthermore, if the current view is “heavy” (lots of cards and edges) the arc seems to shoot way off in the distance, possibly requiring to draw a looooong arc off-screen.  
> And this makes the rendering stutter for a few seconds.  
> Repro: open a diagram with lots of cards and edges. Place a card top left, and another bottom right, near the edge of the window. Draw a connection from the top-left box to the bottom right box. Almost certainly you’ll experience what I’m talking about.  
> Idea: make the margin edge scrolling smaller or less sensitive or slower when dragging an edge.

I have this same issue. I don’t like this interaciton in general, whether on touch or desktop. (This is not specific to Kinopio).

Use cases:

- Reposition a card
- Make a selection and move a group of cards
- Connect a card to something at the edge or offscreen
- Make a selection that includes cards off screen
- Resizing an image card (and my cursor approaches screen edge)

Some ideas:

- I wish there were a way to lock panning so there is no movement at the edges.
- Clearly indicate the zone when scrolling will start. That way, I can avoid it.
- Or more radically, introduce a staging area where I can temporarily put cards, and then pan around, and then place them back into the space.

just released an update that changes the speed/acceleration of edge scrolling, let me know how it feels now
