Product:Safari Product Version:Safari 9.1 (11601.5.17.1)

Summary:
When switching through tightly-packed tabs, the tab text shifts slightly left and right.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open enough tabs in a Safari window that they stop getting smaller with each new tab.
2. Switch through tabs.

Expected Results:
The text in the tabs doesn’t move while switching tabs.

Actual Results:
The text shifts a few pixels left and right. See attached screen recording, also posted at http://cl.ly/faGN

Regression:
I feel like I would have noticed this on pre-9.1 Safari, but I don’t have it installed anywhere to confirm.

Notes:
Running OS X 10.11.4 (15E65)
