Offset not working correctly on my viewport size

My code is from the teachers notes.

<div class="row py-4 text-muted">
  <div class="col-md-6">
    <p><strong>About Treehouse</strong></p>
    <p>Treehouse brings affordable technology education to people everywhere to help them achieve their dreams and change the world.</p>
  </div>
  <div  class="col-md-6 col-xl-5 offset-xl-2">
    <p><strong>Stay up-to-date on Full Stack Conf</strong></p>
    <div class="input-group">
      <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Email">
      <span class="input-group-btn">
        <button class="btn btn-primary" type="button">Sign up</button>
      </span>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

However at my screen width the signup column is pushed below the About Treehouse column. My viewport size is 1229 × 638.

Is this a design flaw?

I have another way to do this :

Just add "justify-content-between" as a class in the row :

<div class="row py-4 text-muted justify-content-between">

Bootstrap has max columns of 12. You are declaring 13 columns. Col-md-5 + col-xl-6 + offset 2. Reduce the offset to 1 to make your columns jusity on a single line

I realise that but this is the code that is given by the instructor to push the content across a very large screen. 

<div class="col-md-6 col-xl-5 offset-xl-2">

You still have to put the col-xl-5 class in the other div (the one that refers to the About Treehouse content).
