--- Comment #21 from Lee <[email protected]> ---
It's been ten years since this bug was first reported.  It is still a problem.

There is an ugly work around, at least for the time being.

LO Writer treats word entries as different if they have a different number of
spaces after the index word.  Corn with no space after the last n is different
from Corn with one space after the last n, is different from Corn with two
spaces after the last n.  When formatting the entries of an index, trailing
spaces are apparently truncated but - only when it's time to format the lines
of the index.

Using this, a convention of adding one space after index entries in chapter one
and, two spaces after index entries in chapter two - or, perhaps only using
this technique for those instances where something to be indexed appears in
multiple chapters.

It does make for an index that will appear to show the same word multiple times
in an index if, that indexed work appears in multiple chapters but - that's
better than having an incorrect entry (pointing to the wrong page) in the
index.
