I'm spinning this off from bug 519688 comment #7,

> Another - possibly related - observation: When hovering over the "other action"

which still applies unchanged also after further modifications to the header-pane geometry have been made by bug 489609 and bug 521334.

Note that this is only observed after you switch to the Windows Classic desktop theme, it looks fine (no displacement on hovering) when the default Windows XP theme is used. I could imagine though that other desktop themes with similar properties may trigger a similar effect. To be noted, if the subject is wrapping into a second line, this isn't observed even in the Classic theme, only when each header item occupies a single line.

On the Windows XP desktop, right-click and select Properties, then go into the Appearance tab and select "Windows Classic Style" in the Windows and buttons menu. Hovering in and out on the "other actions" menu button on a given one-line subject message should show the problem.
This is a composite of the normal state (lighter colors) and when hovering
over "other actions" (dark colors). While the header-pane buttons and the
the headers themselves remain constant, the menubutton slightly moves, the splitter goes up by about 2px, and so does the message pane.
Further details: Windows XP SP2, using "Standard" screen fonts (no smoothing) with "Normal" font size.

Dupe of bug 525628?
Thanks, I'm wondering how I could miss that one. It's somewhat different in
steps to reproduce, but seems to be based on the same issue, also may be easier to handle in a single bug. We can reopen if Andreas wants to treat this as a separate case.
