On what version of Ubuntu and what version of Unity.

I just checked it on 16.10 and I don't have any gaps in workspace switcher.

apt policy unity

Installed: 7.5.0+16.10.20161112-0ubuntu1

If you have gap on the right side of the screen you should open a new bug report. This as the title suggest was about gap on the left side. If you open a new bug report please specify the version of Ubuntu you are using and also Unity version. Try to determine if the problem occurs in a specific circumstances (the way to reproduce it).
