In XEmacs, that's a hard part. A summary buffer may include characters
of different font sizes. Therefore, it is difficult to predict how
many lines can be displayed in the buffer window. If Gnus predicts a
greater number than the number of lines can actually be displayed, the
cursor (the current line) may be scroll out of the summary buffer
window, then the cursor is located to a weird place (another line in
the window). Now, Gnus predicts a bit smaller number, so a blank line
may be displayed in the summary buffer.

In GNU Emacs, there is no such problem.
