Black line under some icons in system tray

Hi, I have a problems with a few icons in my system tray / notification area: After a while, a black line appears under them.
Any ideas on this?

I can confirm - it happens when I unplug my power adapter or get most of the system notifications (they don't appear, only the black line at the bottom).

neither does it work me, strange (it worked when I started this post).
However, attached is a new screenshot.

And I also found out that I can get rid of that black line if I resize the panel by 1 or more pixel (Panel Properties --> General --> Size). Seems to be a graphical error...?

Any idea on this?

I have the same issue and have found that this appears when an icon located just over than other icons

the vlc icon without any black line

the vlc icon just over than others and the black line appears

I suspect this happens with QT based apps only like VLC, Skype.

Sounds like it is not fixed in MATE 1.6 ?
