I have an issue spying HTML elements, with HTML mode. I am able to identify all of the elements, but it seems like identified object has been "moved down-right". (See example below - Google Search button has been spied, and green rectangle is moved)
I'm pretty sure that element is spied correctly, becouse even if I add manually correct element ID (which is unique), - rectangle is still moved. All actions (e.g. click centre) are realted to green rectangle. (so in case attached it will not work, becouse its centre is below bottom of Google Search button)
Have anyone had this issue before?

Hi,
Has the screen resolution changed since spying the element? (screen resolution should be at 100%)

No - it does not changed.
My screen resolution is max possible: 1366 x 768 (recommended).
This issue also happens even during spying elements.

Change the zoom to 100%
which could solve the issue
