Hmm... I still cannot reproduce. Can you please post a screenshot of how the frame looks before and after split-window-right? I'm guessing we use different fonts, so stuff is arranged differently on the screen.
I have created a screencast here: https://gist.github.com/fanzhuyifan/b3221c16cda29252086bf9c0e10e8df6
Should I try forcing my emacs to use a specific font and then reproducing?
