I have altf2on.$$$ on every installation and often a delay at the top of
config.sys. So everything is echoed. I see that shift on some versions
immediately after basedevs. On RC4 I can read the entire first letter
if I look behind the plastic CRT border.

Isn't that before SNAP or any such thing? The shift is consistent until
the text portion of boot is completed; screen goes to solid color,
usually orange. And the screen at that point is properly aligned.

It seems to be a problem worth very little effort to fix. There are
other things more important.
