|Workaround=Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, turn on "Enable HW Hacks", go to Configure Hacks and set "Half-pixel Offset" to "Normal (Vertex)". Alternatively set Internal Resolution to "Native", or switch to Software mode by setting Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options. (Handled automatically in latest devbuilds 1.7)
