Menu-separators in Mac OS X (annoyances)

I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a Macbook Pro. Firstly, let's get something out of the way: I do think it's a dazzlingly beautiful OS, but here's something I find pretty annoying:

Menu separators

The screenshot below shows an example of a menu with separators in 3 different Operating Systems: Windows 7, Ubuntu 10.04, and Mac OS X 10.6.5

Sometimes it just so happens that I'm clicking around so quickly that I accidentally click on the separator. On Windows and Ubuntu this is fine - it ignores it and keeps the menu open. In Mac OS X, the menu disappears (as if you've clicked on something that's supposed to be clickable)

Anybody else find this annoying?
