MenuFlyoutSeparator is not working on MacCatalyst

[MSicc]

Description

MenuItemSeparator does not show on MacCatalyst apps. It generates an empty menu item.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new MAUI app
2. Add a menubar with MenuFlyoutSeparator
3. Run the application

Sample Menu code

    <Shell.MenuBarItems>
        <MenuBarItem Text="Application">
            <MenuFlyoutItem Text="About MenuHandlingPlayground" />
            <MenuFlyoutSeparator IsEnabled="False" />
            <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Settings">
                <MenuFlyoutItem.KeyboardAccelerators>
                    <KeyboardAccelerator Key="," Modifiers="Cmd" />
                </MenuFlyoutItem.KeyboardAccelerators>
            </MenuFlyoutItem>
        </MenuBarItem>
        <MenuBarItem Text="File">
            <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Open file">
                <MenuFlyoutItem.KeyboardAccelerators>
                    <KeyboardAccelerator Key="O" Modifiers="Cmd" />
                </MenuFlyoutItem.KeyboardAccelerators>
            </MenuFlyoutItem>
           <MenuFlyoutSeparator />
            <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Close file">
                <MenuFlyoutItem.KeyboardAccelerators>
                    <KeyboardAccelerator Key="C" Modifiers="Alt,Cmd" />
                </MenuFlyoutItem.KeyboardAccelerators>
            </MenuFlyoutItem>
        </MenuBarItem>
    </Shell.MenuBarItems>

<MenuFlyoutSeparator IsEnabled="False" />

Could you try not using the IsEnabled property?

[MSicc]

<MenuFlyoutSeparator IsEnabled="False" />

Could you try not using the IsEnabled property?

That does not change anything. It generates the same empty item.

I would like to mention that the Separator does display correctly if it's used in a SubItemMenu context in Maccatalyst

<MenuFlyoutSubItem Text="New" Clicked="MenuItem_Clicked">
                <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Blue"
                                Clicked="MenuItem_Clicked"
                                CommandParameter="LightBlue" />
                <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Coral"
                                Clicked="MenuItem_Clicked"
                                CommandParameter="LightCoral" />
                <MenuFlyoutSeparator></MenuFlyoutSeparator>	<= Worked Here!
                <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Cyan"
                                Clicked="MenuItem_Clicked"
                                CommandParameter="LightCyan" />
            </MenuFlyoutSubItem>
