Grabber Hand defaults to wide view with red box instead of giving a smooth scroll

On large documents I find the grabber hand tool (space bar) defaults to a different system. Instead of scrolling smoothly as normal in small documents, it zooms out and presents a wider view with a red box that can then be moved around to choose the area you want to scroll to.

The problem is that it is incredibly slow even on my very fast and capable machine. It takes ages just to scroll a little to the side when editing. I want to disable it and force the system to scroll more normally.

Is there a preference setting to disable this grabber hand behaviour?

Why does it only happen in large documents?

Thanks

Hi Alan:

It's how you initiate the panning with the Hand tool:

If you move your mouse as you press the mouse button, the images pans.
If you press and hold (and perhaps count to 2), InDesign zooms out and shows the red box. Move the box where you like, release the button and InDesign zooms back in to show what was inside the red box.
