Shows making new panel and doing everything to reproduce it

SUMMARY
Spacer makes widgets overlap each other if you slide it over icons-only task manager, making it not removable.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open edit mode
2. Add spacer, flexible or not
3. Slide it over icons-only task manager or system tray, or other way around

OBSERVED RESULT
Spacer goes behind any widget after that and you can puts widgets over it, makes them overlap each other

EXPECTED RESULT
Spacer stays with cursor and doesn't make other widgets overlap each other, making them unusable afterwards
