If you use the backdrop image and move the display image using the manipulator outside the view area, you cannot move again the image because the scroll bars don't move the image.

Confirmed on Blender 2.8 - Arch Linux x64.
It's also possible to see that there is no strong association between using the manipulators or the backdrop's toolbar on the right.
More specifically, when you drag the backdrop, there is no change in the offset until you hover the sidebar also when you use the
Move
button and the handlers don't move with it (only when you deselect and select the view node).Reading more of the code I've seen this piece that could cause part of the problem above:
WM_manipulator_types.h:303
Watching the code, I've seen that @ideasman42 wrote part of the manipulators. Maybe he could give some insights.
Also, what would be the best approach to avoid missing the manipulators on the scene ? Or should we just guarantee the consistency of the toolbar and manipulators information?
Added subscriber: @Jeroen-Bakker
Would fix this issues, but as manipulators are implemented as modal operations, it is not possible to select a node that is on top of the backdrop which is also annoying. There should be some mechanism that these manipulators are not 'fully' modal.
Currently only the selection of the node will work if no handler of the manipulator will not get any focus.
We should have a mechanism that gets all valid events and have an ordering to select the event that will be handled.
In the manipulator we could add a flag that other events will get precedence over the manipulator events.
And add that flag to the backdrop manipulator.
Another solution is a priority of the event to use as ordering.
Ok, did some testing on what is possible.
space_node
this was possible, but came to another issue. Mouse cursor was not displayed correctly as manipulators are modal operatorswm_manipulatormap_highlight_find
context aware and not finding manipulator handlers that are obstructed by for example a nodes in thespace_node
when the manipulator has the fallback-flag set.Will check with @ideasman42 what would be a good next step for this.
Changed status from 'Open' to: 'Resolved'
I think this was solved with the new fit button.
