Description Christoph Laeubrich CLA 2020-01-03 03:36:34 EST 
As described here [1] and here [2] the separator disturbs the layout if not  computes a custom height (what is very inconvenient).

Steps to reproduce:
- create a composite and place a button and a label using grid layout
- everything looks ok
- add between the both the folwoing code
> new Label(showLabelsContainer, SWT.SEPARATOR | SWT.VERTICAL)
- now the composite height is about three times the height
