I can't see any problems. Which pixel of which element is in the wrong place? Where is it, and where is it supposed to be?

What you are describing may be just an artefact caused by the structure of an LCD display.
Each pixel is represented by a Red, Green and Blue subpixel,
If you have a red pixel adjacent to a blue pixel, they may look oddly aligned

The blue pixel appears to be misaligned.

subpixel ordering, you don't have 1 light per dot on your screen which magically displays every colour ya know :P
If you have a magnifying glass, get it and take a closer look at your screen, you'll see it then.

Well, when I zoom in, I still have the same problem. I will make a large picture of it when I have some time.
