Good point. After all, when you left click drag left and right, it does, and when you right click drag up and down it does. Perhaps it is only a matter of adjusting the zoom to the hypotenuse instead of using the side. >I guess for this to work zooming in would have to take place no > matter which way the mouse moved, so that the user could move a point > close to the bottom edge into the centre of the frame.
