I use hot keys Ctrl + Arrow Up to make emulator larger, Ctrl + Arrow Down to make emulator less.

Just put the mouse cursor on one of the emulator corners until the resize arrow appear and then drag it in one of the directions, the size will change(like a normal window).

I just tested it and it works perfectly...

Thanks for the tip Martin. Same thing, the screen of the emulator is becoming smaller and smaller and is going to the top left of the window – Alex Oct 10 '19 at 14:30

At the end I managed to fix the emulator. I have uninstalled packet tracer. Do not know what was happening, but this cisco app was affecting android studio (emulator).

I had had the same problem which I solved by uninstalling Cisco packet tracer, and by the way I had two versions of the tracer, one was 7.3.1 (this is the one I unistalled) and the other is 8.0 (and this is the one I kept), hope my answer helps someone.
