It's only happening when two photos are shown that fit exactly in the viewport for where images are being displayed. So when there's one, or three or more, no twitch.

And this only seems to happen when in your timeline, not when the skeet is selected for reading in detail

This map is so wrong. I can't figure out how it ended up this way. Are the trails and rivers upside down and backward? Last I knew, Lapwai wasn't all that close to American Falls.
