Yes, _this_ I can reproduce. And it seems to be a new issue. Until
now, we only encountered problems when making the map _larger_. This
one happens when we make it _smaller_. I cannot help, but I have the
impression that everytime we revisit #1797, there are new issues, and
it always behaves different with OL 2.7 and 2.8, but never completely
right. I doubt that this is just OpenLayers' fault.

Regards,
Andreas.
