This bug causes a spurious scroll that centers point in the window. Sometimes it seems to happen while Emacs is idle, which leads me to suspect that an idle timer is doing it, or else that the code in keyboard.c that does things like auto-save and GC when Emacs is idle. I have tried to find ways to reproduce it, but no success yet.
