contents Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a von Neumann algebra, $\mathcal{I}$ a weak-operator dense ideal in $\mathcal{M}$, and $Φ$ a unitarily invariant $\|\cdot\|$-dominating norm on $\mathcal{I}$. In this paper, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition on $Φ$ such that every operator in $\mathcal{M}$ can be expressed as the sum of an operator in $\mathcal{M}$ with disconnected spectrum and an operator in $\mathcal{I}$ whose $Φ$-norm is arbitrarily small. Similarly, if $\mathcal{A}$ is a unital $C^*$-algebra of real rank zero with dimension greater than one and $\mathcal{I}$ is an essential ideal in $\mathcal{A}$, then every element in $\mathcal{A}$ can be written as the sum of an operator in $\mathcal{A}$ with disconnected spectrum and an operator in $\mathcal{I}$ whose norm is arbitrarily small.
