Title:
  Font bottm line artifact after middle of screen

Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 (updated to current date of writing this
  report) under 1440x900 resolution. I have indicator-appmenu removed,
  so in my maximized terminal I see the menus below the main bar on the
  top.

  I use the font "Ubuntu Mono" with size 12, other parameters set to
  default. The cursor shape is Block.

  The bug is that the last line of the terminal seems to be just a
  little too low, somehow printing characters below a defined window or
  something. The symptom of the bug is that in a maximized terminal,
  once the cursor passes the middle column, it will leave artifacts
  behind on the last line (one pixel width?) which doesn't get cleared
  up.

  I cannot take a screenshot of this, because any refresh of the screen
  (such as minimize and back, or the flash from Ubuntu's screenshot
  program) makes the artifacts go away. However, I took a snapshot with
  a camera and attached the image.

  If I have a different terminal window size, such as when indicator-
  appmenu is installed (so there is some more height available for the
  terminal), this does not happen. Neither does it happen in an
  unmaximized window. The reason being that unmaximized windows make the
  height a multiple of the line height gnome-terminal likes, and in the
  case of other window sizes because the calculated "last line" of the
  terminal is luckily placed a bit higher than the bottom edge.

  My suspicion is that when calculating how many lines fit in the given
  height of the terminal, there is an off-by-one-pixel error.
