When the output window is displayed and empty there are some strange pixels in its upper left corner. They disappear when a text is printed into output window.
It's the text caret at position -1. Thought I'd fixed this a while ago, but it really wants to paint :-/
Should now be fixed - the negative position test didn't include the font baseline.
