How to get rid of this line?

I've noticed this before in some games, but I can never figure out how to get rid of it. There is a tiny line at the bottom of the screen, it usually appears in full screen mode. I've zoomed out to make it visible in this picture:

Any ideas?

- Only in some games?
- How long has this been happening?
- Have you updated to the latest drivers for your graphics card recently?
- Have you or your family ever seen a spook, spectre or ghost?
- What OS are you running?

1. Yes. Well, I don't play many games, so it'd be hard to say. OpenGL seems to be the connection.
2. No idea. I just installed FSOPEN in prep for the longplay. I can't say I noticed this in the past.
3. That's not how drivers work on Linux
4. Possibly, I've heard tales. But I think it was mostly imagination.
5. Linux Mint Tina.
The only way to fix it that I noticed, was to switch resolutions (to a lower one) and then that 'line' was gone. But upon restoring the desktop resolution (1920x1080) it returned. I'm guessing it might be to do with the way OpenGL is handled- I saw this in Quake 2 recently too. This might be a problem unique to Linux gamers. I even swapped out a Geforce for a Radeon and the problem persists!

Well the problem seems to have cleared itself up. When, how, why? Nobody knows. Or do they?
They don't.

It would seem the problem ISN'T entirely gone, but all I need to do is log out and then login again (on Cinnamon) to get rid of the line at the bottom. It actually looks like a gap in the screen, because I can see my desktop picture inbetween.

It sounds like a driver issue but it could be a conflict of sorts but I know next to nothing about Linux.
