I've got a blueprint viewer I'm working on. This allows users to align blueprints over one another. I'm using overscroll to allow them to navigate the plans by clicking and dragging the blueprints around. I came across 2 issues.

1) The mouse tends to get stuck in dragging mode. When you click and drag, the mouse doesn't always get released.
2) If the positioned element inside the overscrolled element has a negative positioning (e.g. top: -100, left: -300) you can't view the entire image. Overscroll just stops at the borders (top: 0, left: 0, right: 0, bottom: 0) of the container, and the rest is cut off.

1 seems more like a bug, and 2 seems more like it might be intentional. Is that the case here?

Thanks!
