--- Comment #7 from johnks <testing1237a-c at yahoo.com> ---
i have attached another screenshot with grid and ruler enabled. as you can see,
the cropped image on the foreground is not a problem. the background image
which is put at the back and half outside the viewport is the problem.

i have put a yellow dotted line which mimics how other softwares handle such
cases where a boundary is hidden behind an image. they show a dotted line to
indicate where the image is relative to the corners.

the problem is not to have a cropped image but 
1. we can have images which i want only a part visible like the screenshot
attached with background image. 
2. more importantly, if i paste another element on TOP of this image which has
the boundary hidden, there is no way to know for the top element where is the
boundary. see the second screenshot. the background is hiding two boundaries
and the top text box has no orientation where is the top left side of the
viewport so how can i arrange them? one option would be to show the boundary
when i move the element when it is closer to a boundary even if that boundary
is hidden like in this image but that is visible only when an element is
clicked or in movement. if the dashed yellow line in first screenshot were
visble when the original boundary was hidden somehow, that would solve the
problem
