As June7 said, this pops up from time to time on Access forums, and amrut's suggestion is the correct fix. The Nav Buttons and the Horizontal Scrollbar occupies the same bit of real-estate, and if only one of them is set to not be invisible, the 'hole' left by it is empty and sitting there. And if the Form isn't wide enough to require a Scrollbar, all the space is left 'empty.'When both are set to not be visible, the bit of real-estate is apparently 'released.'
Like June7, when I tried to replicate the problem, I couldn't! Then I remembered trying to do this before, going crazy, for a while, until I realized that whether or not it's 'visible,' to a given person, depends on what color they have their Form formatted to and their Windows setting for things like Scrollbars! Once I downloaded the attached app the 'white space' did become obvious, to me!

The problem with making anything foolproof...is that fools are so darn ingenious!
