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):

    Yes, the argument that pixel shifting is generally not helpful has been made before on the forums, and it's hard to disagree.

    However, that doesn't change my belief that pixel shifting is happening, since:

    - it's been reported several times for different watch models

    - the reported behaviour (e.g. separator lines moving around) matches the theorized cause (pixel shifting) perfectly

    It would be great if Garmin could confirm or deny this tho.
