The fix involves creating a custom MenuStyle (ListMenuStyle) that moves the icon out of the Menu initializer and into the style itself, making the separator behave consistently with other list items. The post includes a generic implementation supporting any View as an icon, along with usage caveats — the menu must use a text-only title when applying this style. The author ultimately concludes that DisclosureGroup may be a better alternative in practice. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
