Allow sprites to leave the stage while the project is running.
Allow sprites to leave the stage while the project is running, then snap them back to the stage when scripts are stopped.
I assume sprites are not allowed to completely leave the stage because they can become lost to new scratchers. This failsafe makes sense, but I think it is most important while the project is stopped and in development. (and perhaps also for drag-able sprites.)
I think usually when a scratcher tells a sprite to go to x: 1000 y: 1500, they really want it to go there, so that line drawing is correct or so that they can have seamless scrolling...
BYOB has a menu option to toggle this. That could work too, but I think snapping back when scripts are stopped can satisfy both types of scratchers without an extra control.
(The problem is also discussed here, and here... , but I don't think this idea has been discussed yet.)

I support! BYOB has it, so Scratch should too. 
(BYOB has so much Scratch should.

Hmm, sounds like it would work.

I don't even see how it's a failsafe, they can just right-click on the thumbnail and choose "show."
