I had reported this distracting visual behaviour many years ago, assuming this is what you are seeing.

Sorry about the bad link -- here's a better one:

http://f.cl.ly/items/0c2f3H1Q2j1I0A3c3D24/textmate.mov

That particular file only has 949 lines, so that does not sound like the cause of the problem. Also, this happens more often than I would expect if that were the issue.
