Bug Report Preview size and stream size not correct

Here I have two monitors, the primary one with 1920x1200 pixel (and a secondary one with 1680x1050). I'm running the game "Civilization 4: Beyond the Sword" in windowed mode with a resolution of 1920x1080.
So my idea was to stream my game to twitch and use the custom base resolution of 1920x1080 in OBS. I also enabled a resolution downscale of 1.50. However, if I do this, I loose the bottom part of my game, it isn't visible neither in OBS' preview nor on twitch. Why is this? If my game is in 1920x1080 and OBS is also using this resolution, why is a part missing?

If I set the base resolution in OBS to 1920x1200 and begin to stream, I have black bars (top and bottom) in OBS' preview window, but my game is completely on the preview screen and on twitch (but now there are black bars left, right, top and bottom on twitch).

What am I doing wrong? I would like to upload screenshots, but the forum seems to have a slight problem ("Could not upload attachment to ./files/1139_5834f19947b936726e63091605ccb414.").

As an alternative, you can upload screenshots to imgur.com.

What method are you using to capture the game?

This actually seems to be an issue with Civilization 4 itself.
In 16:9 modes (1920x1080 and 1280x720 for instance), the game cuts off the top and bottom parts of the screen, no matter if you are in windowed or fullscreen mode, while for all other modes, it doesn't.

However, if that's not what you are referring to, try right clicking the source for the game in the "Sources:" list and then selecting "Fit to screen". If you previously tried to capture Civilization 4 at 1920x1200, the size of the source itself may still be that big.
