Yup scrolling is a big annoyance for me too. You can grab the background and move around like that, but its no-where near as easy as scrolling using the mouse, you can't move diagonals for some odd reason, and half the time it doesnt register your mouse is at the end f the screen to move left or right. Hopefully they will fix this, as on large maps it gets me mad fast

I'm just trying to figure out what went wrong here...Galciv I (like almost every other strategy game out there) has the scrolling fine...is this a minor detail missed in the "big picture" for gameplay?

I like the grab scrolling too - it gives you much more control and you waste a lot less time moving the mouse away from where the action is. I don't use edge scrolling at all with GalCiv2. Consider that anytime you're doing something on the main map you probably have the view centered or close to centered. If you use edge scrolling you have to move the mouse way away from the action, hope to get a decent scroll (that doesn't need a reverse corrective edge scroll) then you need to move the mouse back to the action. Horribly inefficient!
