Why does app icon keep jumping?

I don't have Numbers open but the icon in the dock periodically starts hopping. When I start Pages, it starts normal. There aren't any popups.


Any one know why it is jumping? Usually apps only do that when they are open and are requesting attention.

Broke down and called Apple. After dragging the Numbers icon to the trash and then dragging the one from the Applications folder back to the dock, it stopped jumping.


It was like a little tiny exorcism. 😝
