Does it not bother anybody else when you zoom into a photo and pan that your cursor locks when you're out of frame preventing you from navigating around a zoomed in photo?

I'm not the only one who experiences this right?

Can this be changed?

It usually unlocks when i click it again o.o

Yeah, there are multiple clicks involved, maybe I just have my mouse set to high (i keep it around 2000dpi), it just make scrolling difficult. Or maybe if there could be real scroll bars when you zoom in.

And why can't I copy an image when zoomed in?

Im guessing the image address is locked in the default size.
What i do is go to the "share this image" area , and select the size , and copy the line in HTML (Websites, Blogs, etc):
and paste it into a message window and press preview.

Wow, there always seems to be so many features I wasn't aware of. Thanks Luna.

I just noticed my gallery vote count, now I can't ever vote again! Sorry, got distracted

Luna has it right. To clarify, when you zoom in, you are no longer looking at the image - you are looking at an HTML element that is made up of lots of panels of subsectors of images, so if you were able to right click and save the image, you would only be saving a 400pixel by 400pixel chunk of the image. Luna's description is indeed the way to do it.
