Yes, that is the issue that Torsten pointed out and why this has been 
left unaddressed for a while--no real good solution other than a 
slightly more complex routine to align at the top unless the window is 
full then align at the bottom.  I made an attempt at the time, but it 
didn't seem elegant.

I doubt at this stage near a release we want to try something too 
significant, so I propose as a quick solution we could add an extra 
whitespace line at the start of the buffer.  Could you try that?  Just 
search for "GNU Octave, v" in the source tree and add an extra line and 
rebuild.  If that seems to behave OK for now, we'll try to add the line 
not in the text string, but at the point at which the GUI creates the 
term object.
