435 - WIM window moves down with each new tab
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Receive a whisper from someone
2. Receive a second whisper from another person
3. Receive whisper from a third person, etc...
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Each new whisper should appear in it's own tab and the WIM window should remain in place without moving. Instead, each new whisper moves the WIM window down by the height of the tab. So each new tab has the window lower and lower. But what's weird is that it only effects the window if you are in the specific tab.
In other words, if you have the first tab selected, the WIM window is where it is supposed to be. If you select the second tab, the whole window moves down several pixels. And if you select the third tab, it'll move down even further. But going back to the second tab it comes back up a little. And then if you select the first tab its back in place where it's supposed to be.
Like this:
—Tab 1————
| | —Tab 2————
| | | | —Tab 3————

I believe I've figured out what the issue was here in the end. There is a setting in the addon that will cause any new windows that open, to cascade in a user-chosen direction. This option remained checked along with the option to group all whispers into one window with tabs. For some reason, and I don't know if this was intentional or not, WIM doesn't seem to see each new tab as being the same window with tabs, but rather sees them all as separate windows with seudo tabs, thus causing each new tab to force the window down and to the right in my case. Unchecking this option has resulted in the WIM window remaining in place, regardless of how many whispers I get.

I do use Moveanything yes. But I don't have it doing anything to the WIM window at all. Would that still have any effect on it?

I just don't see this problem, or report often.
