I don't have access to my Mint installation at the moment, but my
guess is that Vim isn't getting the number of lines and columns
being used by the terminal.

You can see the numbers that Vim is using with

:set columns? lines?

Then shell out with ":sh" and at the shell prompt execute

$ echo $COLUMNS $LINES
$ tput cols
$ tput lines

Those values should all agree with each other and with the actual
size of the terminal.

HTH,
