Thanks for the submission! :) I tested it a bit - unfortunately, the thumbnails seem to jump around wildly when getting close to the edges, and also the arrow disappears:

I think we need to find a different solution.

wouldn't call it "wildly" ;) it moves inside so it doesn't overlap. any suggestions on a direction to take on this?

[felix-hoc]

Yeah I get that :) From a user perspective, it would be nice if the thumbnail would simply stop moving out of the frame, so it stays "attached" to the left/right edge when the mouse moves further out.

I had a quick look but also couldn't come up with a better solution so far :/ we'll need to properly look into it.

i think i addressed both your concerns - the label now stays at the edge (with a bit of margin) instead of jumping away from it and the arrow keeps indicating the visible position

any news on this? if you are worried about performance, i could throttle the overflow-prevention.
