Excessive use of space by “Global menu“ widget on a panel

After an update i started to get some crazy issues with the “Global menu“ widget (1st and 2nd part of the image from the top).
Before the update the widget would stick to the right side, as in the “Search” menu entry would be right next to the System monitor widget.

Adding a spacer widget in front of the global menu fixes this (3rd part of the image from the top) but then sometimes it starts to cut at the text of other widgets (4th part of the image from the top “CPU” text is cut it also cuts tiny amount of text on the music player that ive blurred)

This seems like a bug but on the other hand usage of the spacer seems appropriate so im not sure.

oh also the use free space option on the “icons only task manager” is turned on messing with that doesnt do much difference
