Details:

If you open a window using the screen command in your screenrc before you set
your hardstatus to use the (always)lastline option, the window won't set its
number of lines correctly to account for the hardstatus line. Consider this
screenrc:

screen 1
hardstatus alwayslastline "hi "

If you open screen on a 24 line terminal, the window opened as a result of the
"screen 1" command will have its number of lines set to 24 instead of 23 (stty
size reports 24 rows). That is, it won't reserve a line for the hardstatus
line.

Windows opened outside of the configuration file, or windows opened after
setting the hardstatus to use lastline, have the correct number of lines (stty
size reports 23 rows). Furthermore, if you open multiple windows in the
screenrc like so...

screen 1
screen 2
screen 3
hardstatus alwayslastline "hi "

...only "screen 3" is misconfigured.

I've observed this issue in version 4.03.01 and builds from git source as of
Feb 18 2018.
