Bug Description

fill-paragraph (from fill.el) causes point to recenter alternately to center, top, and bottom of screen, as if recenter-top-bottom (from window.el) is being called.

I expect fill-paragraph to be idempotent: if it does nothing, it should leave the window alone (possibly marking it as dirty). In particular, it is hard to see exactly what it has done if the text moves substantially. This is new behavior since the upgrade from 14.10.
