s.chebotar@ Thanks for the issue.

Tested this issue on Ubuntu 14.04 using GNOME desktop environment on the reported version 66.0.3359.181 by following the steps given above.

On changing the scaling setting to 1.25 in tweak tool, and navigating to the above given URL, the photo is at the center of the browser window and is not pushed to the top left corner.
Tried resizing the window and still the photo is at the center of the window.
Attached is the screen cast for reference.

Note: after setting the scaling factor to 1.25 in tweak tool, it is automatically changing to 1.2.

Request you to check and confirm if anything is missed from our end in reproducing the issue.
Also request you to retry the issue on a new chrome profile without any flags/extensions and update the thread with the observations.

Thanks..

Susan, thanks for answer.
I can see at least two differences from my configuration.
First, my system is Ubuntu 18.04
Second, my screen resolution is 2560x1440. I just recorded another screencast that show how the page works well on smaller window size and affected just when it is more than ordinar HD resolution.  
I also used guest account just to show that it is not a some extension problem.

s.chebotar@ Thanks for the update.

Able to reproduce the issue on Ubuntu 17.10 on the reported version 66.0.3359.181 and the latest Beta 67.0.3396.62 as per comment #4.

1. Changed the screen resolution to 2560x1440.
2. Launched Chrome and navigated to https://vk.com/photo-26991659_456256816.
3. On changing the scaling setting to 1.25 and resizing the chrome windows, can observe that the photo is moved to the top left corner.
Attached is the screen cast for reference.

As the issue is inconsistent, unable to provide the bisect information.
Hence marking this issue as untriaged for further updates from Dev.

Thanks..

The problem here is that with the scale bumped up to 1.25 the window on the original reporters screen is no longer wide enough to fit the content, hence pushing the sidebar down to the next line. 

This is not a chrome bug but the way to web page in question was designed.
Either make the window larger or reduce the scale factor to avoid the problem.
