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):

    Unfortunately I don't have a link atm, but here's my description of one of the original bug reports:

    forums.garmin.com/.../1843975

    According to one report, this can be seen by developing a data field with a white background (which you're not supposed to do for AMOLED) and adding it to a 1-field layout so it takes up the whole screen. You should see a tiny sliver of black background appear to move between all the edges of the screen (top, bottom, left and right), which would indicate that the entire contents of the display are being periodically shifted.

    Again, I am not arguing that pixel shifting is effective or useful in general, only that it is happening.

    > Even that could be OK, if it was documented...

    Yeah, there are so many things that Garmin expects us to just figure out or know. If the forums were suddenly lost, imagine all the undocumented knowledge that would disappear...
