dbms_output.new_line adds space

[Worker]

I just noticed that running this in a test window:

begin
	dbms_output.put_line('hello');
	dbms_output.new_line;
	dbms_output.put_line('world');
end;

results in:

hello
[space]
world

which has a space character where there should just be a blank line. Is this space character added by PL/SQL Developer or by Oracle?

The same happens in a command window with "SET SERVEROUTPUT ON". I tried to reproduce it in SQL*Plus but SQL*Plus did its own weird thing and completely discarded the new_line.

(Oracle 11gR1, PL/SQL Developer 9.0.6.1665)

It seems to be added by PL/SQL Developer. We'll fix it.
