Problems with Table of content

users

Hi,

I think that Table of content is somewhat broken in 4.0.5: After Insert - Indexes or tables - Indexes or tables - Table of content, you can add tab stop between chapter number (E#) and chapter entry (E) in the first and third level, if you do that on second level - chapter entry (E) is pushed all the way to the right and dots are added which makes no sense.

You get something like:

1. First level .............................. #

1.1. ..............................second level
...................................................... #

1.1.1 third level ......................... #

It is possible to add that space with space character added between chapter number (E#) and chapter entry (E) but but tab stop is not working for second level in TOC.

Don't know if somebody already reported a bug on this.

LibreOffice 4.0.5 is affected (situation with LO 4.2 beta is even worse, lot worse), just downloading 4.1.(1) to se how it works. LO 3.6 on (at least on Windows) doesn't have that problem.

My fault on this - tab space was to small so there was just not enough space to display it correctly, increasing tab value fixes the problem (confused me when another machine got it right by default, there was no need for adjustments).

I apologize for this false alarm,
