I'm pretty sure that is the scrollbar.  
If you must adjust your arrow button size with scripting, here is a simple recursive function that will do it:

```auto
from com.inductiveautomation.factorypmi.application.components.util import HoldDownArrowButton
from com.inductiveautomation.factorypmi.application.components.tabstrip import LeftRightArrowPanel
from java.awt import Dimension
tabStrip = system.gui.getParentWindow(event).getComponentForPath('Root Container.Tab Strip')
arrowHeight = 50
arrowWidth = 50
def tabStripArrowEditor(tabStrip):
	if tabStrip.componentCount > 0:
		for component in tabStrip.getComponents():
			if isinstance(component, LeftRightArrowPanel):
				size = Dimension(arrowWidth*2,arrowHeight)
				component.setPreferredSize(size)
				component.setSize(size)
				tabStripArrowEditor(component)
				return
			elif isinstance(component, HoldDownArrowButton):
				size = Dimension(arrowWidth,arrowHeight)
				component.setPreferredSize(size)
				component.setSize(size)
			else:
				tabStripArrowEditor(component)
tabStripArrowEditor(tabStrip)

```

Before and after result:

**Note:** the height will be limited by the height of the tab strip
