I think I might have stumbled onto how to possibly reproduce it - it just happened to me in the orbiter while I was changing loadouts and forma'ing my guns. Rarely, when I exit the arsenal, I get this 0,5-1s hitch, or freeze - and that's the moment it happened, moved to the middle of my screen. This micro-freeze happens very often when you join a match and begin loading into a mission, which might explain why it moves during that time. (Strangely though, despite Railjack missions having a much more pronounced "hitch" while loading in, it hasn't happened to me there yet.) Next time I'll try to have shadowplay actually turned on and record it, if it happens in the orbiter again.

You were right, I switched to DX11 and it only ever spikes to 100% for 5-10 seconds on first load of each zone and then never again. Somehow DX11 made it so my chat window now moves up only about 50 pixels, which is enough for me to not be bothered by it - so actually thanks for that tip!

Happened in about 1 in 15 missions before Whispers, now it's happening every other mission. 2560x1440 Borderless Fullscreen - dual monitor setup, both monitors 1440p Menu scale - "FULL" HUD scale - 140 Chat scale - 125 Renderer - DX12 (DX11 was trying to kill my CPU) DLSS On - Quality V-Sync - On Windows 11 display scaling is set to 125%. Not gonna lie, it's driving me up the wall a little bit, would love a "lock chat window position" toggle. Edit: would like to add that being the host or a client makes no difference, had this happen to me in both instances.
