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):

    > You are noticing it because you are drawing your fullscreen data field with a white background, but the data page background is still black, and it's noticeable when the native firmware performs pixel shifting.

    Sorry, this part was speculation because I couldn't actually see your screenshots when logged in. (I can see them when logged out tho).

    It has been the case that in the past, people could see the black "edges" of the actual data page background on AMOLED devices when drawing a full screen data field with a white background.

    Yes, that's some new bug of the forum, I also experienced this: I posted the pictures from my phone, but when I refreshed it on my desktop I didn't see the pictures. Only when I opened a new incognito window... When we thought it can't be worse, Garmin never fails to surprise us of newer lows in the forum.
