Strange window behaviors in Leopard

I'm not seeing that specifically, but I am seeing Finder windows do a  
thing I'm calling "double clutching".  When opening a folder in list  
view (happens to be an alias to a work folder on the desktop) it plots  
the contents window and very quickly replots it in the same place,  
giving it kind of a jerky appearance like when a low flying airplane  
passes between your dish and the satellite, which is NOT the place it  
is supposed to be, AND it is not the size it is supposed to be, but IS  
more or less in the center of the screen in the somewhat default  
position you describe.  Closing the window and opening the alias again  
opens the window in the proper location at the proper size.  It's an  
odd little occurrence.

I haven't messed with this enough to figure out a causal relationship.
