[Bug]: Vertically offseting a graph variable (any) using ${voffset} on the same line does not properly update the window height

What happened?

When using {voffset} on the same line as any conky graph variables (e.g. {cpugraph}) the window height does not take into account the vertical offset, leading to text lines being pushed outside the window (for positive offsets) or hovering above the bottom of the window (negative offsets) by the offset amount.

This only happens with graph variables, and not other variable (like {hr}).

Regular {offset} does not display a similar behavior, so it is strictly limited to {voffset}
