Blank line at bottom of screen

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open mintty in fullscreen mode
2. Open Vim or similar program that takes up the full screen

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect that Vim should take up the full height of the screen.

Instead there is a blank line at the bottom. It's not just Vim though. Any 
command when run - there is always a blank line at the bottom when in 
full-screen mode.

This also only occurs on my 2nd monitor (1920 * 1200). If I put mintty on my 
laptop monitor (1280 * 800) it's fine - there is no blank line.

If I resize my 2nd monitor to something smaller, it still has the problem.

What versions of mintty, Cygwin/MSYS, and Windows are you using?

mintty 1.0.3
Cygwin 1.7.10
Windows XP SP3

Please provide any additional information below.

Puttycyg doesn't have this issue in fullscreen mode.

That's why I'm suspicious that the problem is in mintty and not something to do 
with my OS.

It just means there aren't quite enough pixels for a full line there. Try a 
slightly different font size.

PuTTYcyg centers the display whereas mintty aligns it to the top left, so in 
PuTTYcyg the spare pixels get divided between top and bottom.
