Adding a space is not the only trigger of this bug.
In my bug report:
Bug 105758 - Writer 5.3.0.3 Truncates Alphabetical Index Entries
I deleted the [T] (tab) and replaced it with ", " (comma space)
Same problem, truncates last letter.
Just tested with other characters replacing the tab.
- Comma alone - same problem, truncates last letter.
- Underline character alone - same problem, truncates last letter.
- Letter X alone - same problem, truncates last letter.
So this bug affects virtually any change which deletes the tab entry.
Furthermore it makes no sense for the default index format to include this tab.
It would make more sense for the default index format to be what is actually
used in professional documents.
Pick up virtually any textbook or technical book on your bookshelf and take a
look at the index.
It will most like likely have an index formatted as recommended by The Chicago
Manual of Style and/or The Oxford Guide to Style.
Neither of these guides recommends an Index format which looks like a Table of
Contents.
It would make more sense for the default Index format in LibreOffice to follow
the recommendations of these industry-standard guides - like virtually every
book on your bookshelf.
Why should LibreOffice users have to fix this every time they make a new
document?
That is just dumb.
