Answer 1

I found this trouble when using

:tabnew

I read from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vim, it caused by window Manager that ignore window size hints. Set this in ~/.vimrc

:set guiheadroom=0

But sometimes cause the last line missing. So the best approach maybe set the right fontsize and don't use "e" in guioptions. In other word set in ~/.vimrc

:set guioptions-=e

Answer 2

If in full screen only, then it is simply the remainder that is too small to fit another line. Try increasing or decreasing the font size and see if there are sizes where the line goes away (or gets bigger). If so, that is the reason.
