The HP App has not been reported to have such issues.
Without including any private information, perhaps post an image of the application you are using?
OR
If you are instead asking about the HP Smart application, then yes -- there is a bug and a solution, too.
Let us know.
=================================
HP Smart Bug -- Comments -- Solution - HP App
The weird "offset" issue is result of a rapidly spreading bug in HP Smart.
There are screenshot examples in various posts in the Community.
------- For those reading -------
There is a reported Bug in the HP Smart application (Windows).
The problem has been reported to HP.
----------------------------------
Proposed Solution
-- Recommended -- One and more of the following --
- Upgrade to the HP App (Introduction and information is provided later in this message). HP App is the replacement for HP Smart.
- ⇶ At the least -- Install the HP App as a means to kick the "Smart" bug to the side. That means, Install the HP App > Restart the computer > Try using HP Smart and see if the mere act of installing its replacement (HP App) "fixes" the bug in HP Smart. Sounds silly, but some folks report that this is enough if you want to keep using the old HP Smart application.
AND / OR
- Use HP Scan (part of your full driver printer software)
- → Model and Operating System Dependent → Install / Use the HP Universal Scan Software (available as a separate download / install) on the drivers webpage
- Use Windows Scan until you decide / find a solution that suits your needs

-- Details / Examples / Troubleshooting --
HP is a wrapper that combines a Devices menu similar to HP Support Assistant with the features and options in the HP Smart application.
The HP App can be found by opening the store: Microsoft Store
Look for the HP App under the single name "HP"
Make sure your choice is sourced from HP, Inc.
Consider upgrading to the HP App and perhaps abandoning HP Smart --
The HP App is the replacement for HP Smart.
-- What about HP App? --
At some point, perhaps even now, HP Smart will no longer be available in the Microsoft Store .
There are at least two possible consequences to this:
- Were there a version fix for the reported HP Smart "Scan - Save - Off-Center" bug, it can be more difficult to actually obtain a fixed version of the HP Smart app.
- Any constant request to update HP Smart is perhaps because the app cannot be updated through the conventional means. There are caveats to that comment, none of which matter in context.
