One of the aspects of the edge of the canvas issue that I would *love* to see changed would being able to nudge a selection off canvas, and actually have it occupy space off the canvas. Very often, I have an element that has a style on it, and I want that style to bleed off the edge instead of be constrained by it.
Styles won't do that, unless the pixel data extends off the canvas. So I would *love* to select that edge row of pixels, and Ctrl-Alt-arrow nudge them off the canvas, thus creating off-canvas pixel data, permitting the style to bleed off the edge of the screen. Right now, if you Ctrl-Alt-arrow a selection off-canvas, it does nothing except move your selection marquee visually, enter "nudge" into your history, and otherwise change nothing about your document.
As it is, I have to take the element, move it towards the center some, add pixels to the bit that will end up off the edge, and then move it back. It's a real pain in the butt workaround, for something I do a lot of.
Lots of things can create data off-canvas, and I'd love if duping a selection were one of them.
