Description Toralf Förster 2013-05-10 16:33:26 UTC 
Well, it is not a bug, but a change wrt to 3.8.x where I'm unsure whether it is wanted.

The attached screen shot shows my external 1680x1050 VGA display, attached onto my notebook (closed LID w/ 1440x900 internal).
In the past the console messages were not surrounded by the colourfull pixel area at the bottom and to the upper right corner - so just be informed about that.
