Could this be a bug in KS/WB 1.2?  It's a bug in something!

At random times, a small dot - we're talking single pixel - appears near the
upper right hand corner of a CLI window.  The dot DOES NOT scroll.  It cannot
be erased by text.  If I shrink the window and re-expand it, it disappears.
The dot has no harmful effects, although it is a little annoying.  It
happens only with CLI windows.

Having lots of experience with the way operating systems work, this worries
me; it may be only the rash of a greater disease.  How many dots are being
plotted in off-screen memory?  Maybe it is only a bug in the text renderer,
maybe something much deeper, maybe a bug in the 68000, maybe a bug in
nature...
