Hi,

I'm another user that's annoyed by this feature. Sometimes I drag the document
down, unintentionally slightly crossing the bottom edge of the display, so when
I release I find that my cursor is at the very top of the screen, while my
mouse is at the physical bottom edge of my mouse pad. So I have to lift the
mouse and reposition it.

I think it is fair to have an option under "Settings -> Configure Okular ->
General -> Enable scrolling beyond screen edges". It could be enabled by
default, so current users wouldn't even notice the change, but users would
quickly find how to disable it if they wanted to. I know I tried to look for
this, only to be frustrated there was no way to disable it.

As an alternative suggestion, maybe the feature could be altered to make the
mouse cursor stay at the edge of the screen while virtually dragging beyond the
edge. So endless scroll would still be possible, just the cursor wouldn't warp
to the opposite edge, ie. if the user drags the document down, the document
would continue to scroll as long as the user keeps dragging the mouse down, but
the cursor itself would remain constrained at the bottom of the screen, not
warping to the top. This would prevent accidental warps that happens when the
user unintentionally pushes just a bit over the edge.
