Comment:

 r46555 broke the use of `:after` on `#adminmenu .wp-submenu a`.

 Specifically, changing from `display: block;` to `display: flex;`.

 I help build or maintain several plugins that add styling to a pseudo
 element `after` some specific anchors. This styling is applied
 specifically based on user feedback for plugins with large add-on
 ecosystems that add many sub-menus to a single top-level menu item.

 {{{
 /* Secondary Separators */
 #adminmenu ul > li:not(:last-child) a[href^="admin.php?page=sugar-
 calendar"]::after,
 #adminmenu ul > li:not(:last-child) a[href^="post-
 new.php?post_type=sc_event"]::after
 {
         display: block;
         border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.2);
         height: 14px;
         margin: 0 -13px;
         content: '';
 }
 }}}

 With these anchors now displaying as flexible instead of blocks, the
 `:after` pseudo elements flex after them, even when `display: block;` is
 applied to them.
