Well, you know what happens when you assume.

Writing an empty string is an easy way to just get a blank line.

Once I determined what was causing the problem, I just check the
string's length, if it's zero, I just invoke println() instead of
passing the string.

Seems like a bug to me ... although I have a work around.
