bug#19345: 24.4; Opening buffer-menu causes periodic auto-recentering in all windows

Whenever I open a buffer-menu with C-x C-b then switch to a buffer I get
a periodic recentering of the point in all the buffers I visit.

I tracked the bug to find a work around and ended up redefining
`tabulated-list-revert`
function like this:

(defun tabulated-list-revert (&rest ignored)
  "The `revert-buffer-function' for `tabulated-list-mode'.
It runs `tabulated-list-revert-hook', then calls `tabulated-list-print'."
  (interactive)
  (unless (derived-mode-p 'tabulated-list-mode)
    (error "The current buffer is not in Tabulated List mode"))
  (run-hooks 'tabulated-list-revert-hook)
  ;; hack is here
  ;; (tabulated-list-print t)
  (tabulated-list-print))

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately have not received
any responses yet.)

I'm not quite sure that I understand the phenomenon you're describing.
If, from `emacs -Q', you do a `C-x C-b', and then choose a buffer, then
Emacs will periodically recenter point in this buffer?

I'm not able to reproduce this behaviour.

More information was requested some weeks back, but no response was
given, so I'm closing this bug report.  If you're still seeing this
problem, please reopen.
