I don't know if this is a bug, maybe it's an enhancement request. The geometry seems really off when browsing in Big Picture. As the screenshot shows, the game Limbo is far down and to the right of the screen. If I use the mouse, I seem to be able to scroll far in any direction. It doesn't happen when I use the keyboard, though.

Also, and this might be related, are rendering artifacts when I take a screenshots. They are not visible when I am actually using the client, though.

It's intended that you can scroll web pages in the Big Picture browser away from the edges of the screen. This is so gamepad navigation works as the gamepad targeting reticule is always in the center of the screen and must reach any region of the page.

It sounds like you are just seeing that expected behavior here though it's difficult to tell due to the artifacts in your screenshot.
