My 3000 does exactly the same thing - for the first few minutes after bootup
(when it is cold), random lines will jump left & right.

I have been told that it is a fault Agnus chip, and this seems likely, as it
only happens when there is actually something being displayed on the screen
(like text output). It goes away after a few minutes (presumably when Agnus
heats up) so I assume it is a heat fault.

Try changing the Agnus chip and see if that makes any difference. It doesn't
bother me all that much as it never lasts for more than 5 minutes at the most.
