Context sub-menu with and without horizontal lines in Dolphin 19.12.3 and
21.12.3

For as long as I can remember, a personalized service sub-menu in Dolphin could
contain horizontal lines to separate items. To do so, you had to add
_SEPARATOR_ in the semicolon separated action list of your service file, for
example

Actions=action_a;action_b;_SEPARATOR_;action_c;action_d;_SEPARATOR_;action_e;

This feature disappeared between Dolphin 19.12.3 (Kubuntu 20.04) and Dolphin
21.12.3 (Kubuntu 22.04). The code above does not produce lines/bars anymore
(see attachment). I was not able to pinpoint the exact release that came with
the regression.

These horizontal lines are very handy and quite frankly irreplaceable when it
comes to add visual clarity to custom sub-menus, especially long ones.

My guess is that this is not a conscious design choice but rather a side-effect
of some code optimization. That's why I'm reporting this as minor bug. I would
love to see them back and I suspect others would too.
