First of all, thanks for desktopify. I'm not sure if it is an issue! I have little experience with linux and no experience with the Raspberry Pi 4B (which I use here) or any Rpi!

I used the same setup (Ubuntu Server 20.04.2 LTS 64-bit server OS) as in Wimpys (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umtZuUJOU38) video. Means HDMI0.

Different to Wimpy, I chose Xubuntu. The Xubuntu installation was smooth and worked.
After rebooting, my screen looked like this:

horizontal_shift_to_right_line_marks

Connection between Pi and monitor is: Pi HDMI0 -> Monitor DVI (one cable, no adapters, monitor has just one DVI input)

I connected the Pi to HDMI1 and rebooted. Everything is fine!!!

Back to HDMI0, I played with the overscan settings in the config, there were changes, but not the way I wanted it. The pink vertikal stripe on the left side would not move.

Since this was my first experience with this brandnew Pi 4B, I thought my hardware has an issue.

Thinking a little longer about the problem, I decided can't be hardware.

Tried "Ubuntu Desktop 20.10 64-bit server OS". HDMI0 and HDMI1 are fine.

Tried "Rasberry Pi OS". HDMI0 and HDMI1 are fine.

So it is definetely not my Pi hardware!

I compared all this config stuff, but couldn't find anything suspectful.

Another try, I did exactly the same as in Wimpys (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umtZuUJOU38) video. Means, using ubuntu instead of xubuntu.

Result: HDMI0 shifted in the same way to the right as above. HDMI1 ok.

I am at my wit's end! Help!!!!!

Did anybody else made similar experiences? I don't know, if it is an issue with desktopify!

Facing the same issue. Display is shifted by one pixel to the right on both Xfce and Gnome Shell on Ubuntu 21.04. The display is actually wrapped-around. Any window you place at the right edge of the screen willl be visible in the 1 pixel area on the left edge of the screen. It's a curious bug with Ubuntu on Pi 4. Not related to desktopify.

Don't get me wrong. I didn't complain about the 1 pixel shift (orange). I was complaining about the big (red) shift.
