#16348: SCUMM: DIG: Original Bug in German version with text at start of the intro

----------------------------+---------------------------
 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?
