Inactive buffer separator still visualize when disable separator about barbar.nvim

[Iron-E]

When re-implementing the icons option in #386, we had to preserve an independent default with icons.inactive.separator.left for backwards compatibility. In the short term, you can fix this with something like this:

--[[ minimal.lua ]]
vim.opt.rtp:prepend {
  vim.fn.stdpath('data') .. '/lazy/barbar.nvim',
}

vim.g.barbar_auto_setup = false
require('barbar').setup {
  icons = {
    filetype = { enabled = false },
    separator_at_end = false,

    separator = { left = '', right = '' },
    inactive = {
      separator = {
          left = '', -- ← this is the fix
      },
    },
  },
}

Run the above with nvim --clean -u minimal.lua to try it out without modifying your configuration. Adding the noted option above to your configuration should also produce the desired behavior.

@romgrk what is your opinion on changing this default before 2.0? We've had similar reports to this previously (#419, #513), so it seems to be a common pain point

inactive = {
      separator = {
          left = '', -- ← this is the fix
      },
    },

This worked, thanks 😊

Not a fan, don't like forcing users to mess with their config.

what is your opinion on changing this default before 2.0?

What would be the downside?

What would be the downside?

The only one that comes to mind is that some users may have to adjust their configurations to get the results they saw previously.
