Where's the gap? Between Discord and the clipboard icon?

And you're saying that at other times, this gap isn't present?

Yes, the gap between Discord and the clipboard icon
The gap appears randomly, it is not always present, it is a strange bug because it happens randomly and it is not very likely, it only happened to me 2 times
