Ok, I was trying to find out more about this issue and it seems that I got it...
I found a way to let you reproduce the issue.

First off, I think I found this issue by accident, because I was using the index
feature the "wrong" way. Or using it in a way others wouldn't use it. Let me
tell you what I did first, and then what I did to get it working the way it
should be.

I was trying to set up an "alphabetical index" using all three levels with a
concordance file, level two and three indented, and everything in three columns.
To do this, I was only using options from the dialog where you set up the index.
That means I was using the 3-columns option from there and, most important here,
I was trying to set up the indentation from this dialog (tab sheet "Entries"). I
did not use any styles from anywhere else.

To get level 2 and 3 indented I inserted a "Tab stop" to the left of those two
entries and assigned 0.5cm and 1.0cm as positions (no fill character here). The
tab to the right of the "E" has had a dot as fill char and "Align right" has
been checked. It looked like this:

S: [E]
1: [E][T][#]
2: [T][E][T][#]
3: [T][E][T][#]

This directly leads to the issue. The aditional Tab stops are the problem. The
issue arises as soon as you have more than one column for output. It only
appears in columns to the left, the column to the very right works properly with
that configuration. Checking/unchecking the "Tab position relative to Paragraph
Style Indent" does not change anything.

To avoid this issue, I simply left the formatting of entries as they are
pre-set. The indentation is now set up with the styles for level 2 and 3, using
"Indent before text" (Styles: "Index 2" and "Index 3"). The pre-set Tab stops
can now be configured for everything possible (e.g. using dots and "Align 
right").

Summary: As soon as you insert an additional Tab stop into the formatting of
"Entries", and use more than one column, you get this issue. But only for levels
that have the additional Tab stop.

I hope this helps, this time...

Regards,
Volker Puttrich
