What resolution are you using for Windowed mode, and what resolution is your desktop?

I have a feeling that he's trying to run in a window at fullscreen resolution. Windows is having some issues with that. Won't be fixed unless the entire handling in ZDoom is redone.

Exactly my thoughts. I was going to suggest either running at a lower resolution, or to download Borderless Gaming if that was the case - it fixes that issue, for now, at least.

Oh yeah I ran it on 1152 x 864 on windowed mode, but others also have the same issue on various resolutions on windowed mode as well. I use windowed mode for basically every game I play (I know, kind of odd, but it's just a preference).

Ah so no fix w/o borderless gaming? Damn. I was hoping simply moving messages down by a few pixels would've solved it, ah well. Thanks anyways.

You can use window mode, but it just has to be a lower resolution than your desktop unless you want to either have those cut-offs or have to use Borderless Gaming. That's how it is, for now, anyway, unless someone decides to revamp the resolution selector system.
