OBS Recordings output at the wrong resolution

I have my settings set to record and output to 1920x1080, but for whatever reason, all of my recordings have ended up being 1920x1088 and have a 8 pixel tall green bar at the bottom in the extra space. What I find even more bizarre, is that when importing these recordings into my editing software, it goes away and I can export them without it just fine. I suppose then it's not a major issue, but it is bizarre and this green bar shows up whenever I directly post my recordings on Discord or other sites.

Here's a log from when I did a small test recording: https://obsproject.com/logs/VUNqY9bXOCZPlsFf
 
It seems to be only an issue with the FFmpeg VAAPI HEVC encoder. Doing a test recording with FFmpeg VAAPI H.264 instead saves to the correct resolution. But I would prefer to use HEVC, since the file size difference is so much better.
 
Both codecs output 1088 in height in this case as it needs to be dividable by 16. There are cropping parameters in the stream telling the decoder to crop away the bottom 8 px. Since your editing software does the right thing this sounds like your specific player/decoder incorrectly interprets these cropping values.
