Description:
When I am in the ERR Diagram, if I click a table, all of the windows and toolbars seem to re-allign themselves. The main window and File menu bar do not move, but all others look like they are getting reset to some position.

So, it looks like the windows bounce when I click a table. This is very annoying as I move from table to table to have everything shift for a second. It is giving me a headache.

System info:
Windows XP
Thinkpad T60
Docking station
Dual 19" LCD monitors (1280x1024, 96 DPI) OR LCD (1680x1050 96DPI)
Workbench 5.0.12 OSS Beta & Workbench 5.0.14 SE 

How to repeat:
Alfredo Kojima and Michael Zinner both thought it is related to DPI settings.  Mimic my settings and you may see it.

Suggested fix:
Make it stop bouncing.

I have confirmed this same bug on XP (SP2).  It is because my machine was set to use large font 120 DPI display settings.  As soon as I switched it back to 96 DPI, it stopped shaking.  The text labels for the checkboxes in the foreign key editor also now fit on the screen

bug #35158 is a duplicate of this and has a nice video.

A note has been added to the 5.15 changelog: 

When editing a model, the windows and toolbars would realign themselves during selection. This was related to the configured font sizer the DPI setting of the monitor, causing the application to redraw the windows to account for the configuration combination.
