Think about your problem a bit. What you see as jumps is just the 
molecule going from a side to another of your periodic box. In truth, 
the box has no sides. It's a continuous thing with a toroidal topology.

So, if your stuff diffuses freely in the box, you can never, ever avoid 
it walking through the "sides", because there are no sides: from the 
point of view of the molecule, it's all a continuous thing.

The only chance to visualize a mostly jump-less trajectory is that your 
stuff clumps together by aggregating into something definitely smaller 
than the box -and then you can center on the aggregate.

Hope it's clearer now,
