Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Install a clean Joomla installation with 3.7.5 or Joomla 3.8.0 beta 3 with no sample data
  2. Create the following menu structure

menu_list

3. Create a new menu item of menu type 'Menu Item Alias' > Select a menu by clicking 'select' button > a modal showing all menus appears.

Expected result

On the modal box that list the menu items, you should see any parent menus that are Text Separators or 'unselectable' menus but they should be without a link so that the user can't click on them.
expected

Actual result

On the modal box that list the menu items, the sub items of the Parent menu 'Pages' are shown as if they are under 'Home'. This is misleading especially when you have dozens of menu.

Additional comments

Rather than hiding the parent Text Separator menu, it would be nice to show it but disable it. I remember we did the same with Module Assignment whereby the Text Separator menus are simply disabled but not hidden entirely.
