			XnViewMP 1.6.1 64bit 
Windows11 (22H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%  
Formats  dropdown
it is does not look nice when there are 2 lists joined togeter without any delimiter
Suggestion 
add separator after most used formats
(shows only if ☑ 'Show most used format at begining' in Settings > Formats > Saving)

The formats displayed can be selected in 
Tools > Settings... > Formats > Saving tab -- Show most used formats at beginning  ...

are you sure?
there is special function available:
QComboBox::insertSeparator 
https://www.mimec.org/blog/qcombobox-with-separator  wrote:In version 4.4 of Qt a long awaited feature was added to the QComboBox widget. It is now possible to create separator items, which are drawn as thin, gray lines and cannot be selected. Before 4.4 it was necessary to create a custom item delegate, and also to add a few hacks in order to correctly calculate the height of the popup list and to make it impossible to select the separator using up and down arrow keys. Now we can simply use the insertSeparator method.
 
example:
