I always think it is a strange decision to assign the task of panning preview to the middle mouse button.
Panning the preview window has become a very common operation for users when making masks or motion tracking. Whenever I press the middle mouse button, I will have a certain probability to scroll the mouse wheel, which will cause unnecessary trouble.
Will this kind of trouble happen too when you use it?

In After Effects and VEGAS Effects, users pan the preview window by holding down Space. Maybe in Vegas, Vegas Team can change it to hold down Ctrl or Alt to pan.
