I noted spurious scrolling on a few occasions. One was on exiting from C-s. Eventually I found a reproducible case, so I tracked down the cause and fixed it. Another was after waiting for periods on the order of a minute, particularly in Rmail. I never figured out the cause of that, and I think I never found a way to reproduce it. Typically it happens after I have used SPC, C-v or M-v to scroll through the message, so that point is at the top or bottom line. I think it was mainly after scrolling down, but I am not sure. Another case where I have seen it is immediately after typing C-c C-c to send a message in Mail mode. I noticed that a few times over the past few weeks. I will try to keep an eye out for whether these problems still happen.
