I checked again with the latest version I could get today from CVS. When I'm on the solder side and I move a part designator (which is temporarily replaced with a rectangle during the move) then I still get the same incorrect rectange graphic as in case 1.

I don't get case 3 all the time, but often enough to render auto pan useless to me.

Seems like the behaviour of auto pan from the solder side is a little random (seems to depend on zoom level too). Sometimes the up/down scrolling also does side scrolling.

The auto pan is toggled with the right mouse button. It's described in the key reference (under the Window menu): while drawing or moving, a click without a drag toggles auto pan mode.

Previously I forgot to report bug 4.

4. When on the solder side the grid only appears in a vertical band at the middle of the board. The width of this band is the same as the visible width of the board at the current zoom level. Probably there is a sign inversion problem with the X coordinate somewhere, as when scrolling instead of the band following the visible board area it seems to move in the opposite X direction.
