Thanks for your speedy response! :)

George Kirkham already outlined a possible solution above. Another solution would be to add a check box (similar to the full-fit button) that forces the student to have the same part of the whiteboard centered in the viewing area as the teacher has or something like that. That would (I guess?) be the present situation for students who don't have permission to mess up the whiteboard.

In my maths-teaching situation, I would prefer to have the option of also giving the student complete freedom, hence that my scrolling does not affect the student at all: If we discuss Theorem 3.4 in the lecture notes (A4 portrait), then the student will find Theorem 3.4 him/herself. After studying the exact result formulation, as we go through the proof together step by step, the student will follow step by step on his/her own whiteboard. If he/she needs to recall some part of the formulation of the theorem itself, he/she can easily scroll upwards to the result formulation and check it. If the student is locked to my view, he/she cannot scroll back and recall forgotten details.

On the other hand, in some courses I prepare lecture slides (something like A6 landscape) with beamer+latex and when I show these I of course want the student's view to be the same as mine. These slides fit the whiteboard shape much better than the lecture notes, and the text font is of course large on the slides. On the other hand, if the student squeezes a whole page of lecture notes with printer-friendly font size, then the text will be too small to read on most displays for most eyes. :)

Friendly greetings,
Mikael

>    Affects Versions: 2.1 Apache Incubator Release
>            Reporter: George Kirkham

>
> Any user should be able to scroll their own Whiteboard area without affecting all other participants, but when a Moderator scrolls their whiteboard, it should scroll everyone’s Whiteboard (just as it currently does).
> The user should not be required to have "Draw on the Whiteboard" privilege to scroll their whiteboard, this should be a default privilege.
