See attachment 132787 [details]. In 5.3.1 an additional space after the chapter number in a Table of Content was introduced. You can test it with attachment 132787 [details] of bug 44282. Illustration and table indexes are not affected. 5.3.0 wasn't affected. 5.3.2 and later versions are also affected. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open the mentioned Writer file. 2. Update the table of indexes. Actual result: 2.1 Heading level 2 ................. 2 -1 Expected result: 2.1 Heading level 2 ................. 2-1
I confirm it with Version: 6.0.0.1 (x64) Build ID: d2bec56d7865f05a1003dc88449f2b0fdd85309a CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; Locale: de-DE (de_DE); Calc: CL The difference between TOC and illustration and table index is, that the entry is different: TOC: Chapter No. Table index: Chapter Info
(In reply to Thomas Lendo from comment #0) Have you tested it with a different locale? The problem does not appear in my LibreOffice.
Weird. I tested it with English and German locale and a new profile. No difference.

Besides, as the comment says, it's an ugly hack, so I'd prefer to revert it and find a better solution
The bisection in comment 5 is not correct, as the commit mentioned only reverts a previous commit.

I just did some checking on LO 6.0.1, and the bug is still there: an additional space still gets inserted when we update the ToC. I am sending this with the hope to place it back on your (collective) radar. Thank you very much for your consideration!
I did some additional testing with LO 6.0.3002, with the same outcome: an extra, unwanted space gets added to the TOC (and other indexes) when we update it. I was hoping the action described in Comment #6 would have addressed the situation, but apparently this is not the case. Thank you again for your help with this pesky issue!
Additional space is ugly. I think proper solution is tab stop in Bug 32360. Actual result (space is tied to chapter number): 2.1(space)Heading level 2 ................. 2(space)-1 Expected result (tab is entry in ToC structure): 2.1(tab)Heading level 2 ................. 2-1
I just did some testing using LO 6.0.6.2, to no avail: that pesky space keeps coming up. As I mention in related posts, the culprit was introduced in LO 5.3, while 5.2.7 was perfectly functional. I am hoping to revive this issue, so someone competent can address it, for everyone's benefit. Thank you very much!
@thomas: as far as I see, the space only is added after the second chapter number in the line, and only added once, not repeatedly? So update summary of this issue?
(In reply to Cor Nouws from comment #11) > @thomas: as far as I see, the space only is added after the second chapter > number in the line, and only added once, not repeatedly? > So update summary of this issue? The extra space always appears between the automatic number generated by Writer (as set by list or outline/chapter numbering) and the author-entered contents that follows. So if you have the punctuation input automatically by Writer, the extra space appears after that punctuation (e.g. "2. blahblah" > note that there are two spaces before blahblah); if you have the punctuation entered by the document's author, then the extra space appears before that punctuation (e.g. "2 . blahblah"). Does this clarify the issue?
(In reply to Cor Nouws from comment #11) > @thomas: as far as I see, the space only is added after the second chapter > number in the line, and only added once, not repeatedly? > So update summary of this issue? For, I see this extra space in every TOC line, not only once and not only after the second chapter. Therefore the summary is still valid.
This is more a cry for help than new input. New versions of LO keep rolling in while we can't still generate a valid ToC unless we stick to the LO 5.2.7 legacy version. Beyond the technical annoyance, this makes it difficult to promote LO as viable alternative for serious document writing. Thank you for anyone who could revive/fix that issue!!
I just did some check with LO 6.2.2.2. The same problem is there.
In LO 6.2.3.2, this "bug" persists. I do understand why the space after chapter number (E#) is default, but it should be possible to remove it. My document has three parts and every part has it's own paging. Due to the default space, it looks (A -1, A -2, ..., B -1, B -2, ..., C -1, C -2) not the way I want it to look (A-1, A-2, ..., B-1, B-2, ..., C-1, C-2).

Patch introducing the problem is this one https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=ce95e39f8e952159844e9dc04a1df402bb103634 Note: before that patch, there was no space between the chapter number and the chapter text. Which is annoying and much more prevalent than the example of this bug. It was a problem in OOo already (and is in AOO) See bug 44282 File with the code is here https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sw/source/core/tox/ToxTextGenerator.cxx?r=80cedb5d
This issue was introduced with version 5.3 of LO. It's possible that OO had it independently (I didn't verify) but LO 5.2.7 does not have this issue, while every subsequent version of LO has been affected by it to this day. If I could, I would pay to see it gone, so I can start promoting LO again as the best system to write long, structured documents (with ToCs and all).
Hi, Trying to revive this issue, which has not been fixed and continues to affect ToC generation. While I can't (unfortunately) help on the programming side, is there anything I could do so someone competent has a look at it? Thank you for your consideration.
