In my Carbon application on Leopard, I'm seeing an extra separator
between the search field in the help menu and the "XXX Help" menu
item. (I also have custom menu items that I append after the
standard help book menu item.)
I see that the same problem affects iTunes, but does not affect the
Finder. (AppKit based applications do not get the extra separator
either.)
Have I done something to instigate the extra separator? Can I do
something to suppress it?
Here is one reply from Eric S. about this item (no April Fool's joke):

In my application, I'm creating the menu bar programatically (it's
a cross-platform app, and the menu bar data is shared). To create
the Help menu, I call HMGetHelpMenu and then add items to it using
InsertMenuItemTextWithCFString.
My problem is that, on 10.5, there is an extra separator at the top
between my first item and the search field. This separator seems to
appear as soon as I add my own items, but most other application
don't have it. Why does it appear, and how can I avoid it, or at
least insert my first help command above it?
I think we have a bug about this (<rdar://problem/5551171> Help
search results: extra divider line at bottom of Help menu), but we
don't know what's happening yet. I suggest ignoring it for now. Most
likely, we'll find a fix in the OS that takes care of this problem
for all apps.
