I just noticed an interesting way to consistently replicate this bug.  
With Dolphin maximized, each time I click the Split or Close (split) 
button in the upper-right it marches a few pixels away from the panel 
on the right of the screen.  This doesn’t caus the bottom of the 
window to move, but it is enough to test for the problem.
