The problem is still there. I have no real idea what's causing this to
happen for some people and not for others. It might be that I'm using
ion as a window manager.

However, I'm quite sure it's real since other people experience it,
too:

That bug is marked as a duplicate of this bug, which has more tech
specifics:

<http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154007>

The latter bug's comments also contain a way to get rid of the bug,
though the kind of method used ("No idea why the line was there")
doesn't really make me happy.

ciao,
