Created attachment 106783 [details] with and without the separtor Visible separators are being used in the toolbars next to drop down menu and value controls when space is needed between it and the next button or control. This is evident in the formatting toolbar with the separators between font style, font name, font size. What is really needed is an invisible separator to provide the necessary spacing between these toolbar elements, as the separator is a means of separating elements that arent closely related to each other.
It would also be useful to be able to change the default number of pixels used by the separator in the form of an xml value in two possible manners. 1) total pixels - toolbar:size="10px" 2) pixels on either side - toolbar:size="5px,5px" 3) multiple of the default size - toolbar:size="*2"
Alternatively, we could have left padding values (of course when the UI is LTR and it would also need to work with both small and large icons) to the toolbar elements.
It’s overkill to have “invisible separators”. Just remove them and have a separate change fixing the spacing between the drop-down boxes.
