Gap below menu bar when app is maximized

Yes, I have it too. Seems like 1 pixel gap. I dunno how to reset my toolbar back to default, nor do I think that should be a real solution. Weird.
Are you saying that you can't drag the window any higher? "Maximize" isn't a feature of macOS. "Full Screen" is, but that's not what you have in the picture. How did you get the window so big? I assume you sized and positioned it manually.
I don't know what you mean? Can you please elaborate?
Yes, I can't drag the window higher. There is always this gap.
Sure! You are showing the Safari window, so choose View>Customize Toolbar. Then drag the default set into the toolbar. Just a possible fix. Other things that may not work but you could give it a go: try out different desktops; try changes in System Preferences>Displays; changes in System Preferences>Dock & MenuBar; changes in System Preferences>Accessibility>Display.
Finally, try the old (and best) diagnostic: Create a new, pristine admin user and login; see if the problem(s) persist. If they are fixed, you have a bad plist. Good luck!
It's been this way since forever, 1pt for 1x scaling, 2pt for 2x scaling. It's less noticeable on 1x scaling because that 1pt includes window shadow outline, so technically gap exists only on 2x scaling.
I've seen similar 1 or 2 pixel mismatches in Safari UI elements over the years. None of them could be widely reproduced or garner enough interest to fix. They eventually went away with updates. I attribute it to minor mistakes triggered by odd circumstances that stick around until the broken bits get replaced.
I do have it on my intel mac. I use Magnet so i thought the app caused this, but since it doesn’t really bother me unless I deliberately see it, i tend to forget about it.
