"Shouldn't happen".

No window should be created or sized such that tiles within it become
non-unique.

Accomplish this by either flat out not making windows that large, or stick
the unique map in the center of the canvas and pad it with void squares. I
like the first, though.

Simple answer, right? Map size is known, tilesize is known, so maximum
canvas size should be calculable... any attempt to create a window with a
canvas larger than that size on either axis either fails or just returns a
window with a canvas as large as possible.

Any other concept is just -- ack. Dizziness. Unhappiness. I'm picturing a
tournament ladder where all the participants play under the influence of LSD.
