Issue

The text in the game library is jumping around as it tries to render itself with and without a scrollbar, but it doesn't always happen.

I've attached a video, as i couldn't get proper screenshots.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwkoSonqQhcUd1cyWTU5aEZCY3c/edit

Steps to reproduce

Start steam regularly and proceed to the detailed view in the library.

First, view a game that has friends playing or have played. (as far as i can tell) Second, view a game that has the same set of factors. Finally, click change category on the right side.

In my example, I viewed World of Goo that has 2 friends playing, then viewed Counter Strike that has 1 friend playing, I clicked change category on the right side, then the text
It also happened when viewing World of Goo and Half Life (Beta)
in the main steam window started to jump around.

Details

The window is sized at 992 x 1056 (changing the screen size has stoped the issue from happening again.
World of Goo was in a category called Linux, Half-Life was in a category called Half Life, and Counter Strke was without a category.

I was not able to repro this, but I assume it requires exactly the right combination of font size, text and window size to get the scroll bar to fight with the text layout flow.

yeah, it's not exactly easy to reproduce, which makes it so obscure, but i just managed to reproduce it again and i grabbed the terminal output.

maybe the screen size i gave was incorrect, but i didn't change the screen size at any point.

Hello @kiddykoff, are you still experiencing this issue with an up to date client?

Ssalt86 2017-04-02 github

I just tested it.

The window is slower to resize, but the text doesn't jump around or bug out like it used to.

Kkisak-valve maintainer 2017-04-02 github

Thanks for retesting, closing.
