bug: fr965 (real) 1 Field layout is off-center

Somewhat similar to https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/i/bug-reports/bug-vivoactive5-has-bad-screen-position-for-1-field-datafield-layout-in-simulator except that this happens on a real fr965 with FW 21.19 (and it doesn't happen in the sim): My full-screen data field is added to a 1 Field layout, the default setting on the device is black background, and onUpdate starts with:

dc.setColor(Graphics.COLOR_WHITE, Graphics.COLOR_WHITE);
dc.clear();

Note that I don't use clipping in my code.

I started an activity and noticed that it's slightly off-center to the left, top. Took this screenshot, note in the right and the bottom an arc is "missing":

Then a minute later, still in the same activity it changed to this (note that now the right is OK, only the bottom is missing):

    > Even if we're talking about a watchface with black background and any numbers displayed with a relatively big font (which is 95% of the WF-es) then it makes no sense to shift it just for this purpose, as the bigger areas will still burn in (at least the "common" pixels that are lit no matter the shifts)

    Yeah like I said I've seen this argument before and I can't discount it.

    But that won't change the fact that Garmin is using pixel shifting (or not).

    I think it does make sense for thin elements like data field separators.
