I am not sure, but I think everything is just fine! You are running
into something called 'overscan'. From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overscan:
Overscan is extra image area around the four edges of a video image
that is not normally seen by the viewer. It exists because
television sets in the 1930s through 1970s were highly variable in
how the video image was framed within the cathode ray tube (CRT).
Read the wiki page for more details - you may find them helpful.
You can get an approximation for this phenonema by using the "Visible
Region" option under tools. I don't know if the visible region follows
the conventions mentioned in the wikipedia article.
I hoped this helps.
If the above isn't clear, feel free to ask for more details.
