* Either zero or two newlines with org-agenda-block-separator, cannot seem to get one?

Hallo,

I tried to change the value of org-agenda-block-separator variable to
many things (including characters and strings, in accordance with the
documentation) however I could not seem to achieve the desired result.

I was trying to make one blank line between agenda blocks in my custom
agenda (defined via org-agenda-custom-commands).  However I could only
seem to either make two, or zero!  :/

Searching for org-agenda-block-separator in org-agenda.el led me to
org-agenda-prepare function, where it appears to me that there is no
way to accomplish what I want, at least by simply changing a variable.

Therefore I ended up commenting out one of the newlines in that
function here in my local source, and re-loaded the file.  And now I
have one blank line between my agenda blocks, just as desired.  :)

But I thought this would be a good idea to bring to the attention of
the mailing list.

Cheers!

TRS-80

Hello List,

I had sent original email to the list some time ago, never received a
reply.

Hopefully I have set the correct headers for proper threading; if not
the OP can be found at (either of) these URLs:

https://yhetil.org/orgmode/33fe6d20c0591fedbdd8c6ea78e34370@isnotmyreal.name/

https://list.orgmode.org/33fe6d20c0591fedbdd8c6ea78e34370@isnotmyreal.name/

I just looked at latest master(main) and It looks like this part of the
function `org-agenda-prepare' (in org-agenda.el) remains the same:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
		(insert "\n"
			(if (stringp org-agenda-block-separator)
			    org-agenda-block-separator
			  (make-string (window-max-chars-per-line) org-agenda-block-separator))
			"\n"))
#+end_src

This results in problem mentioned in title.

I guess no one else is affected/bothered by this?

I have been patching it locally, it would be nice not to have to manage
that any longer.

FWIW, I'm bothered, too. Would like to see that in main!
