As I change rotations, the misalingment remains, and always the same.
E.g. if it goes slight left on normal, it goes slightly right on 180
degrees etc.

Hmm.. I think that I do not have the regular Jaggies. Since my newt
had been opened inthe past, I think I will open it (I have experience

Thanks for your detailed reply. It helped me a lot. So, no Jaggies
after all.
