SCUMM: DIG: Original Bug in German version with text at start of the intro

Reported by: GermanTribun Owned by:

Description

This here is an original interpreter bug in the German version of The Dig, which I years ago falsely reported as a ScummVM bug (and which thus was closed down).

At the very start, after the screen has scolled down, in the original English version, some text does state it's the Borneo Deep Space Observatory. This text is always there, regardless what subtitle option you have chosen.

However, in the German version, it's missing. It only appears when you have subtitles turned on, which however is wrong and a bug, when compared to the English original.

My guess: When the game was translated, somehow messed up the Scumm code, causing that location description, which always should be visible, to be treated like an ordinary subtitle. Can the code between the two versions for that part be compared and the problem then be fixed as an optional improvement? (Don't know if other languages have the same problem)

Also: since the German desciption is longer than the English one, the text is no longer centered. Can the text position also be adjusted?
