Clipped Avatar Shadow?

Being a noob again and trying to relearn everything I knew before *and* combined now with a newer plugin, I have a few questions.
An avatar shadow seems to be a new thing on the menu that I didn't have a year ago and although I've searched for the answer here, I couldn't find it in plain English. Despite using several 'Bounds' methods, my avatar's shadow still seems to be clipping short of the feet and at times it almost looks like the avatar is floating a few inches above where the shadow is cast.
Is there a fix/tweak/setting for this behaviour?
Thanks,
