Bug Description

The indicator style changed recently. And the new style for the separators between sections of an indicator look like two lines separated by some space. It doesn't look great to my eye. Screenshot attached.

I asked Nick about it and he said that we don't have visual designs for that yet.

--------------------------------
Desired solution:

Remove the extra lines. They just look wrong.

Can this be an issue with the list item picked for the indicators?

I believe this was fixed with the recent separator rehaul.

My understanding is that the extra lines are caused by an empty list items that has only the separator but no content. Why there are any such items in the menus is another question. Anyway the extra lines make the UI look broken and should be removed.
