Hello Damien,
I have also seen this happen in other applications such as elki.
Indeed I do not know a use case where a Java application has a UI and
stdout is relevant (and might break another application).
However, there clearly are use cases, if you think of classic
"dialog". Someone might be using a custom java-written "dialog"
application.
I would also not report if it weren't a regression from Java 6.
But given that this didn't happen in Java 6, some problem might break
when this event occurs, which is (in contrast to other System.out
uses) apparently on certain mouse events (unfortunately, I also do not
know yet how to reliably trigger this bug, only that it happens every
now and then).

I do not think this warrants a standalone upload (or freeze
exception), but given that it is a straightforward patch from upstream
removing the "System.out", it IMHO should be queued for the next
upload.

Thank you.
Erich
