If there are UI elements in the way of moving the screen with the mouse, you can use WASD to move it (as long as the mouse cursor isn't over a UI element), or hit Home to re-centre it on the lead character. Normally you can use the arrow keys to move the screen, as well, but only the left and right arrows work for that during a conversation.
