New VTE update (0.64.0) cuts descent of font in last line of terminal
The VTE update (0.64) will cut the descent of a font on the last line of a vte based terminal for certain fonts. Essentially, the lower case g, q, j letters have their tails cut off on the last line. I've tested this with xfce4-terminal and gnome-terminal.
Some fonts appear not to have this problem, but others (like Ubuntu Mono) do.
The following image shows the font correctly using VTE version 0.62.3
The following shows the problem with the tails on the letters "gpg" being cut off on the last line.
I do have gtk css settings applied that manipulate the scrollbar and XFCE4 notebook tabs, but these don't have any impact on the last line.
I've also tried adding a padding around the vte based terminals (via gtk css) but to no effect. The padding shows up, but the font is still truncated on the descent.

Thanks @loqs,
Yeah, it does look related. I thought it only affected the last line, but it may simply be that all lines have been affected. From the bug reports, it doesn't look to be a VTE problem as much as a fix that went into VTE and now VTE based terminals are affected.
