What you're seeing is intentional; it's a feature called Margin Separator and it allows the widgets on the right side of the panel to have a higher margin compared to the left side. Thus, what you're seeing is the difference in margin. You can remove the widget separator or move it around in edit mode, you just have to drag and drop the part where the panel becomes thinner.
