 Well, it is pretty odd that there is no ticket about this issue. It has
 been around for a while and it affects both linux and windows
 installations, especially the latter.

 I have seen on basically every box where I have installed qgis or where I
 have seen qgis installed by others.

 It is enough to add a few layers to a project and then start a normal work
 that includes moving layers in the legend, adding removing layers and
 activating/deactivating layers in the legend.

 Sooner or layer you will see items jumping from their spot in the legend
 to another one.

 The worst part is that do not seems to exist a pattern to try understand
 why/when this happens.

 New users are pretty puzzled by this issue.
