Bottom line - use ScrollFrames for large images or blocks of text, but not for a large number of multi-textured relatively-positioned controls. Surprisingly, though, text does NOT suffer much.

This makes it so you do not have to watch (or use) your regular combat chat window and gives it a Final Fantasy feel. Now when the 0-1 texture coordinates suffer from precision errors, everything starts to shake. A fairly simple but very configurable mod that adds damage, heals, and events (dodge, parry, windfury, etc) as scrolling text above you character model, much like what already happens above your target. Speculation here - apparently this happens because ScrollFrames are (seemingly) created by rendering all their content onto a texture in memory, and treating the ScrollFrame's ScrollChild as a mere Texture, taking its contents from the in-memory texture using SetTexCoord.

And 'fidgeting' may mean quite serious distortions, with textures shifting up to 3-4 pixels in an unpredictable direction. Notice: Multiple textures, positioned one to another, may start 'fidgeting' when the ScrollFrame's ScrollChild containing them is resized/moved/scrolled. Scroll frames are good for scrolling large portions of text, or a large EditBox. ScrollFrames are for smooth pixel-by-pixel scrolling of a complete frame that is only partially visible.

In many cases, ScrollFrames, and in particular the FrameXML-defined FauxScrollFrame, does more than you need. This is just a short video showing how to disable the combat text in World of Warcraft Legion.
