One annoying side effect when you convert a standard SharePoint view to XSLT is that when you mouse-over the link column, it will cause the view to jump around in the browser. This seems to be something to do with how the layout in XSLT converts some of the functionality in a standard SharePoint view.
My workaround for this problem is to just drag the width of the header of the link column, in my case the standard Title column.
In this way, the view then becomes stable.
