Missing scanlines?

Whenever I run DOSBox in full-screen mode, there seem to be pixels missing from the bottom of the screen. The display is truncated by 1 scanline without aspect ratio correction or what does indeed look like 1.2 scanlines with aspect ratio correction enabled.

This happens only when I use overlay output mode. All other modes are fine, as is windowed display. Is this a bug in DOSBox or a problem with my graphics card driver? (nvidia ForceWare 71.81 on GeForce 4)

Using Ctrl-F5 to take a screenshot confirms that DOSBox' internal frame buffer is accurate, so it's a display problem, not a simulation problem.

probably your monitor being configured incorrectly for the display mode.

Nah, it's not my monitor. the resolution is fixed at 640x480 and it works properly with all other output modes (tried surface, opengl and ddraw).
