I think you are right. Since installing 3.4 kernel I have done quite a 
bit of work with multi-line SQL statements, but looking back over them I 
find that few had parentheses buried in them. But I have seen the 
problem again under 3.4, just very rarely. And I cannot now produce the 
error on demand reliably the way I could under 3.3. I just tried for 15 
minutes and failed! So my intuitive guess is that you are right, it can 
still happen, but very much less frequently.

I've also done quite a lot of record/field adjustment in my long, long 
table and I have yet to see the jumping around in the viewport. So I'm a 
bit more confident that this issue has been helped, but I don't know why 
that would be. If I see it again I will report back.
