It's called an absolute box. :)  Seriously, the only thing other than it
being an absolute box is for it to track the cursor.  This is probably
something that scrollpane could use at some point as well.

With regard to labels, though, I think the scrolling is automatic rather
than based on cursor (mouse or edit) movement.  Something like a tooltip (ie
a popup with the full label text) would be more appropriate.
