Displace filter shifts image?

[Shazbot]

Hi all, so I "love" the displace filter. And I'm trying to incorporate it into my work, but the image shifts to the left the stronger my displace setting? Why would it be doing this? I need to have it displace without moving the image. I'm just using a basic noise texture, nothing crazy. Its done this with every displacement map I've tried. 

If I tried to do this for example attachment, my gimp text would move to right or left, rather than be stationary.


Any help is appreciated!  https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/images/filters/examples/map/displace-ex-3.png

As said elsewhere, the displace filter takes two "map" layers, one for x (or radius) and one for y (or angle). The middle gray (#808080) is the neutral point (such pixels don't move):

You are focusing too much on the tool itself, open your mind, take a break, got some fresh air to see a solution.

for example this picture https://pixabay.com/photos/field-farm-su...e-2470985/
displaced to have the one below, I got a problem on the side, some transparencies appeared on the left side (yellow rectangle) after displacement, I just selected the yellow rectangle, use the unified transform tool to stretch out, put the result below, move 1 or 2 pixels to the right, no more problem
