I've noticed this also with SuperPaint 1.0. What I think happens
is that in certain modes, the user inadvertently clicks the mouse
and turns on just a few pixels, which are hard to see on the screen.
If you zoom in on the area of the document where the dots appear,
you can usually find them and remove them with a lasso. Another
way to spot them is to select all, then deselect, zoom in and
just select that dot. I assume you are talking about such random
dots and not the grid dots which sometimes print, too. Probably
the dots are in the paint layer, but if you can't remove them
there, try the draw layer, too.

Perhaps what is more accurate is that what you see isn't always
everything that's there (WYSIAETT) or what you can't see may
appear if you zoom in (WYCSMAIYZ).
