For some reason the height of the status bar in android emulator is increased. It's not limited to any app though. Attaching the screenshot below:

I have tried cold boot and all sorts of stuff. How can I fix this issue?

The last resort I think of is remove this emulator and create a new one. But my new emulator also starts facing this issue. I am not able to know the reason why this starts happening.

Faced this issue and tried a solution. It can be fixed by cold booting the emulator.

To do it:

  1. Close your emulator.
  2. Open Device Manager and click on the down arrow indicating more options. enter image description here
  3. Click on Cold boot now. enter image description here
  4. Let it start, the increased height issue of the TopBar will be fixed.

Its completely normal. Its just a glith by the emulator because running emulator is a bit for vertualization and HAMX complexity thing to solve. Just Create another instance of OS with different android version like OREO or Nougat. It might solve this error.
