Summary 08829: cliffhgr: 'Default' BGFX Chain produces off-center (to right) output in non-LD content in Cliff Hanger
Description Cliff Hanger has the option for two Screen Effects, 0 and 1 (accessed from tab / slider menu). Windows 0, Screen Effect 1 affects the high score table, programmers credits, and instructions display.

When Windows 0, Screen Effect 1 is set to something like 'default', the text screens push off to the right and don't center.
It is necessary to set Windows 0, Screen Effect 1 to 'None' to get the three text screens centered.
Steps To Reproduce No .ini necessary, take it out of the picture with -norc.

1. mame cliffhgr -norc -video bgfx -bgfx_screen_chains default,default (produces the problem with the shifted text)
2. Hit insert to FF to the blue text screens, hiscore, credits, instructions

3. mame cliffhgr -norc -video bgfx -bgfx_screen_chains default,none (text is now centered)
4. Hit insert to FF to the blue text screens, hiscore, credits, instructions

1. mame cliffhgr -norc -video bgfx -bgfx_screen_chains default,default (observe shifted text)
2. Hit insert to FF to one of the shifted blue text screens and pause.
