Yes, the problem is that when you zoom out all the way, the hand func= tion stops working. =A0So if your composition occupies a large space and yo= ur instinct is to zoom out and use the hand to navigate around, then once y= ou get to the maximum zoom out (1.5%?) you can't.

FWIW, I try to keep compositions less than about 30000 pixels in any dimens= ion, because the trapcode plugins are limited to that size. =A0Otherwise if= you're trying to add fog, or particles or other visual elements that u= se trap code plugins you'll have problems.
