Steps to reproduce the issue
On a site with multiple menu items, go to the back end and edit the Main menu. Create one menu item of type "Text Separator" or "Menu Heading"
Expected result
It should create a single menu item and display it in the list.
Actual result
It creates a single menu item in the database, but in the listing of the Main Menu items (option=com_menus&view=items) the new item appears multiple times and appears to take up several pages.

I did that now. This does not reduce the number of items shown.

You haven’t got any items under it? What happens when you add items under it since that is what menu item headings are for.
@tonypartridge
with or without items under it, these menu items display here OK.
The OP issue is imho unrelated.
This happens to me when adding a Text Separator or a Menu Heading. The screenshot shows what happens directly after adding it. I have since been able to add child items of the repeated item, but it still shows as repeated.
@infograf768 Sorry I don't know what an "OP" issue is.
Sorry I don't know what an "OP" issue is.
OP = Original poster => you
What I said was that I can't reproduce your issue, whether with or without using the text separator or Heading before another menu item.
Alright, thanks for trying!
I am closing this at this time as not reproducible. It can always be reopened if further information is provided

Sounds like a corruption in your database. Try clicking on the rebuild icon on the toolbar
