Has anyone ever had this issue or knows how to fix it?
It started about two weeks ago on the bottom part of the screen and is getting bigger. It is now happening in the middle part and top part, although not as prominent
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

I too have the same problem, Its just the beginning, after that you will face stage light issue (uneven down light bottom of the screen) after few days. & then you will face total screen failure if you stretch the screen more than 90 degree. I called up apple service centre . they are giving replacement of macbook pro mid 2016 model for same problem, but inspite having same screen, same flex cable problem they are denying for mid 2017 models. its a Flexigate problem, you can found so many videos in youtube. Most of the macbook users of 2016, 2017 models facing same problem. Apple service centre also knows the fact, they also feel embarrassed to say that we have to change whole upper section with display which is cost more than 700$ for a only 8$ flex cable. actually the flex cable is present under the hinge. when you open & close the laptop it gets damaged. Apple should seriously look the matter. A 3000$ laptop having such a manufacturing defect is not acceptable.

A Bit of a Note:
My 2017 13" MBP had 100% of same vulnerabilities that you speak of. I sent it in 11 times - finally, after being so patient of a customer, and willing to work with them so much, they swapped it out with a free $2,500 upgrade for no more than the price of my AppleCare+ protection I purchased with it. Somehow, it all started with the High Sierra Install and then it just continued from there until it became inoperable.
I've got the same issue on my MacBook Pro 13' 2017 :(
Looking forward helpful solutions
I have the same problem with my 2017 MacBook Pro 13'' :( It's okay when I start my computer but after a while the dark line appears on the bottom.
