 LTspice IV - can't drag whole area!

What I mean is that I can't drag the entire... shall we say "Workspace" ... the entire area - I mean clicking on a blank spot and dragging... I am running it on XP... I can't pan the entire sheet. If you could help me, I'm not sure how to proceed, and Google is a minefield, as ever.

Cheers guys!

Well you're using a very old version of LTSPice on a very old OS. Not sure you'll find many with the same setup here.

Using Win 7 and LTSPice XVII, panning is done by left-clicking anywhere and dragging with button pressed.
And the zoom with mouse wheel is implemented backwards compared to what's "normal" (and used in 99.99% of applications). Gotta love LTSpice's UI. :-DD

Yeah, I had a VirtualBox Win 7 running but the taskbar kept glitching and going all blurry (a known issue, apparently) - I didn't want to spend 2 days down a rabbit hole (as software tends to drag you!) and so I went to my go-to stalwart, XP. Thanks, and yeah, the UI is quirky but I like it - it's nice to not be "the norm" :) - cheers mate.  :D

IIRC drag the background was introduced with LTspice XVII.
In LTspice IV you either have to use the scroll bars or in Control Panel: Drafting options, enable

Well well well, it turns out that something as SIMPLE as removing the very buggy VirtualBox 7, and replacing it with VirtualBox 6, fixed the blurry taskbar issue and crashing, so now I may use LTspice XVII again! So much for software and its "progress" lol.
