As atoms move closer to your viewpoint, they appear bigger, and the inter-atomic distances also appear bigger, just as in real life. So, an atom which is far away and at a particular (apparent) x position, will be farther away from the center of the screen once you've done your 180 degree rotation. This drawing mode was created to make structures look more realistic. If you don't like it, you can turn it off: under "Display", choose "Orthoscopic view". That should eliminate your "wobble effect".
