Can confirm with both the Traditional and Icons-Only Task Managers. However it Works as expected with the middle widget being Window List rather than a type of Task Manager, so I think this is a Task Manager sizing bug.

Aha, looks like the root cause is the sizing issue reported in Bug 473420.

Nate, this is not a duplicate; as seen in the screenshot, there are no pinned launchers and it's off-center anyway.
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2023-09-19 16:16:22 UTC
Ok. Can still reproduce as I could before.
Comment 6 Nate Graham 2023-10-14 03:45:54 UTC
Is the Task Manager configured to not fill all space? Maybe it's the same as Bug 467385?
Comment 7 Nate Graham 2024-06-07 16:00:33 UTC
This is now fixed for me with current git master when I try to reproduce it in the way I could before.
