With pixel-scroll-precision-mode enabled and at least one character after
the image, I am able to smoothly scroll around the image.

(with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "*test-scroll-image*")
  (erase-buffer)
  (insert-image (create-image "splash.png" nil nil :scale 10))
  (insert " ") ;; There must be some text after the image
  (goto-char (point-min))
  (pixel-scroll-precision-mode 1)
  (pop-to-buffer (current-buffer)))

However, if the window is scrolled to the right, then it is impossible
to scroll down:

(with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "*test-scroll-image*")
  (erase-buffer)
  (insert-image (create-image "splash.png" nil nil :scale 10))
  (insert-char 8203)
  (goto-char (point-min))
  (pixel-scroll-precision-mode 1)
  (pop-to-buffer (current-buffer))
  (set-window-hscroll (get-buffer-window) 1)) ;; Image scrolled to right

In this buffer, if I attempt to scroll down with the mouse wheel, I
immediately get "End of buffer" error and the image does not move.

Thank you!

Joseph
