Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This issue has been fixed upstream and adding new separators now work as expected in alacarte 3.5.5-0ubuntu1.1 available in Ubuntu 12.10 and later releases. Thus, I am closing this bug as fixed.
However, it seems to still be present in Ubuntu 12.04 and earlier releases, so if you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please follow the instructions for "Requesting a Backport" at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports#Requesting_a_Backport ** Changed in: alacarte (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alacarte in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/716324 Title: When clicking "new separator", alacarte crashed with ValueError in __positionItem(): ('Separator',) is not in list Status in Alacarte Menu Editor: Fix Released Status in “alacarte” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: alacarte while editing the main menu could not add separators or new folders.
