That's odd -- I would think capturing the mouse would prevent this.

I haven't done this in a scrolled window, so I'm not sure what would 
work best. If you post a small-as-possible example app, I'll try it out.

You might also want to consider using "panning", rather than scrolling 
for moving around your image. That means having a "hand" tool, that, 
when selected you can grab the image and drag it around in the Window. I 
find that an easier way to navigate things like this.

See the FloatCanvas demo for an example.
