Bug Description

I am running on Ubuntu 14.04.

I undocked an application today from my task bar, and instead of the task bar getting shorter and closing up the gap, the gap where the now undocked application had been stayed and acted as if it was its own application link there, because if I dragged some applications around on the task bar, it would act as if it was one of them. I have attached a screenshot of it to this report.

But when I moved enough stuff around, it finally decided to move places and ended up at the top. I have attached a screenshot of it at this stage with the description of "At the top of my task bar stage ".

Although the gap disappears when restarting the computer, but it may later come back when undocking a program from the task bar, and the machine not quite registering that it no longer has a program docked there.
