Remote desktop display shifted up

remote desktop

I use the Microsoft Remote Desktop Client (ver 8.0.31) to connect from my 2013 Retina Macbook Pro (OSX 10.11.4) to a Windows 10 desktop machine. When in fullscreen mode, I get the following experience:

The display is shifted up by about 10 pixels, resulting in a black bar at the bottom of the screen and the top of the screen being cut-off.
