OK, I'll try it out more; I'm not running master "in production" yet
because of some issue with mu4e not limiting the mail it shows me that I
haven't had time to debug yet.

I assumed small, random variations in height of amplitude δh around a
reference height h0, and n δh >> h0. Then the place where you fall
before rounding is randomly distributed. You'll get movement only if
you've rounded up or down by about the half-separation, which should
happen a fraction 1/pixel height of the time. I have lines about 20px
tall, so that's 5%; I multiply by two to account for the possibility of
having rounded both up and down. If anything this should be an
overestimate; but again my assumptions are probably unrealistic (eg for
instance in my tex files the δh is always positive, which might explain
why I always see movement in the same direction).
Best,
Antoine
