Keeping the pixel under the mouse cursor fixed has the advantage that
the behavior for zooming in and out is consistent. If you zoom out too
far, you can easily zoom back in without loosing the area of interest. I
think that clearly outweights the lack of context you may get. And you
only get that when your cursor is far off the image center.
