[3DS] Bottom screen text cutoff

Is there an existing issue for this?

Description

On 3DS, all text for the bottom screen is cut off or missing, though the touch "button" layout itself is still fine. Text placement indicates the bottom screen is being treated as twice as wide as it really is (trying to display on a non-existent left "half"). Could the feature to add 800px width in 1.22.1 have inadvertently affected the bottom screen width as well?

Expected behavior

Background text on the 3ds bottom screen should be centered, and text on touch "buttons" should be visible.

Steps to reproduce the bug

Load any content in retroarch on 3ds and observe the bottom touchscreen (first observed using PCSX-ReARMed core).
