block diagram scroll direction?

When editing a block diagram (or front panel) how does LabView decide whether the mouse scroll weel scrolls the diagram up and down or left and right?  I have noticed that when the mouse cursor is over the left/right scroll bar, the mouse scroll wheel will scroll the diagram left and right every time, but sometimes the diagram scrolls left and right when the cursor is not over the left/right scroll bar.  I am asking this question because I recently purchased a 3DConnexion Spacepilot and I want to have the ability to scroll up/down and left/right independently with the Spacepilot.  The Spacepilot knob acts like the scroll wheel in that the diagram scrolls left/right with up/down motion on the knob, when the mouse cursor is over the left/right scroll bar.  I want it to be able to scroll left/righ and up/down with corresponding motion on the Spacepilot knob, the problem is I can't identify or "get a hold" what causes LabView the make the left/right and up/down scroll decision.
 
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

According to my experience, unless the mouse cursor is over the horizontal scrollbar, LV will scroll up/down.

I have also only seen the left/right scroll on the horizontal scrollbar

Cool .... errrr... mouse. I think. Still slick. I didn't look through it in detail since it seems to be designed for 3D CAD, and LabVIEW is a 2D environment (for now). If you can program the operation you should see if you can get it to generate a Control-Shift while you move the mouse because holding down the Control-Shift keys and click-dragging allows you to pan in any (2D) direction.
