<![CDATA[Could we re-visit the auto sliding of the canvas when something is selected?]]>I know a while back there was a default setting to move the canvas if the cursor was nearing the edge. I noticed this feature in Affinity and found it useful. Could it be added back in VS as an option?

But it must be dragged outside of the view.

By clicking nearby and then dragging it, the canvas moved automatically

But it seems auto-scrolling works only when you draw something (closed shapes) — moving, rotating or scaling an object or moving a node doesn't auto-scroll the canvas.
