I believe that what you're showing is a setup with the following widgets:
- Clipboard
- Audio
- Bluetooth
- Margin Separator
- System Tray
(clock, search, ...)

The distance between the first three widgets is decided by the panel.
The margin separator creates an awkward space due to a bug that's now fixed.
The distance between the system tray applets is decided by the system tray.

The above should explain the situation; is that correct?

These are all system tray icons, I think.  Here is a screenshot with the System Tray open, with the blue line highlighting all those widgets.  I also tried adding an additional Bluetooth widget to the left of the system tray icons, it is not highlighted when I open the system tray in a similar manner.
