Z jumping +-.5 during layer printing?

I see that Z jumps +-.5 during printing in some cases (gcode is produced with Slic3r PE 1.31.6) and firmware is 3.0.9.
I mean the displayed value of Z.
I'm wondering whether this is normal (I doubt) and whether this is just a display glitch.

If you are using the Original Prusa i3 MK2 with ZHop printer profile to slice with it is normal.
