So, your objection is enough for me to take back the confirmation. Let's get
more comments and settle this in a design meeting (maybe).

But why is the visual indication not enough? Why does there need to be a dummy
selection there?

I tried again after your comment, and I noticed that if I single-click the
separator - it's not selected (unlike an actual search result); but if I
double-click it - it becomes selected.

I was using:

Version: 26.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64)
Build ID: 4bf07d898cd3084ff9012f11776d1489b103236c
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.12; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US

That is not really a respectful question, because you're suggesting Stuart is
some extremely odd and eccentric person. Also, you need to remember than when
we file bugs - only a tiny number of people reviews them. So if one of these
people believes that a certain behavior is useful, then it is likely that there
are others who share that opinion. Maybe a few, maybe a lot. So, one objection
is enough to put a suggestion into question - and require a more involved
discussion. Let's challenge Stuart to flesh out his position more (which I've
tried doing above), and see whether he makes a convincing argument or whether
we can convince him.

I've filed lots of bugs which I thought are really obvious only to be
frustrated when others don't see it that way. In fact, I've had long standing
arguments with Stuart about some of these (like PDF import and editing
functionality). And while I'll resist people closing bugs I believe are
important as WONTFIX or NOTABUG - I can't mark things I feel strongly about as
NEW. Sometimes I get my way, sometimes I don't.
