The program draws exactly what I'd expect.

You create the back buffer at 300x300 and set a device offset of 50, 50.
You then draw a rectangle on the back buffer at 0, 0 of size 300, 300.
So, we effectively draw a square on it at 50, 50 of size 250, 250. (the
rest is off the surface)

Then we draw the back buffer onto the front buffer at 0, 0.

So, as expected, the final result of the drawing on the back buffer
is a 250,250 rectangle at 50,50 on the front buffer.

I'm not sure what exactly you were expecting ... to double
buffer a portion x,y,width,height of a drawable, you'd generally
use a device offset of the -x,-y and then paint the back buffer onto
the front buffer at coordinates x, y.
