2. Open and close apps
3. Randomly out of nowhere a small gap appears

A gap that appears if a program that is not pinned to the bar is opened

EXPECTED RESULT
A panel that adjusts the content

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

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