Player 5 single window pixel cutoff?

I run Player 5 on a x64 netbook host under Ubuntu 12.04.1. Guest is 32-bit Windows 7. The netbook screen resolution is 1024x600.

If I auto-hide the Windows taskbar (on the bottom of the screen) in Single Window mode, the hidden taskbar effectively "disappears" and is no longer accessible. If I switch to full screen mode, then the pixel-high hidden taskbar is accessible again. For now, my workaround for single window mode is to move the Windows taskbar to a different side of the screen and hide it there.

Looking closely, it looks like the bottom pixel or two in single window mode are "cutoff". I'm pretty sure that wasn't the case in Player 4.

Not sure if it's related, but the VM seems confused about whether Tools are installed. They are, but it kept telling me to install them until I disabled the message manually. I did try re-installing Tools, but the message remained. Maybe another problem.
