--- Comment #1 from David Hurka <david.hurka at mailbox.org> ---
I don’t bother with this feature, because I use a trackpoint. But I think you
are right, dragging the document beyond the window edge is not really useful,
because you could simply scroll.

<blahblah>
Most mouses have a scroll wheel, which is probably more convenient than
carrying the mouse around because the cursor has wrapped. On touchpads it is
even less useful, because you don’t have the possibility to carry the touchpad
arround. Two-finger scrolling or even chiral scrolling is much more convenient.
And on a trackpoint it is completely nonsense, because the trackpoint can
scroll infinitely without any effort.
</blahblah>

If we disable it now, we will probably annoy some users who liked this feature.
It will not become configurable, because we don’t implement other much more
important configuration options, which would bloat the configuration dialog.

My suggestion is to disable this feature, but only because it is a bit
inconsistent with on which edges the cursor wraps.
