Description fabien.michel 2011-06-21 10:31:36 UTC
Reproduce :
1. Create somes tables with Legend.
2. Create simple character style (set color to red)
3. Insert Index of Type : Index of tables
4. In "entries" tab Selected the "T" of the "Tabulation"
5. Choose the previously created character style.

The tabulation goes red but not the following page number too.

The expected behavior is that only the tabulation must use the character style.

Comment 9 sasha.libreoffice 2012-09-19 13:33:59 UTC
Reproduced in 3.6.1 on Fedora 64 bit using attachment
Workaround: place one space after tab and assign needed style to it. For example assign style Standard. And numbers will have this style.

Still happens with Version 3.6.3.2 (Build ID: 58f22d5) On Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5

Hi, this is not a bug, you need to apply a style to the page number. In your sample, it has no style when you click on it. 
- edit the index
- go under Entries tab
- click on Page number (#) in the rule
- click on the drop down list in front of Character style and assign Page number. 
otherwise it will inherit the tab style - Closing as works for me - Sophie
Comment 12 fabien.michel 2015-01-06 08:32:55 UTC
Bug always occur with 4.3.
I disagree with you Sophie. It does not seem natural to me that the character style propagates to the following items.
Also when I choose "Default Style" for the page number, it does not work. I must create a style only to tell libroffice not to use a style that I have defined on another element. For me it is a strange behavior.
Comment 13 mahfiaz 2016-08-04 17:26:26 UTC
I agree with Fabien, this seems broken as it's inconsistent.
When you apply a style to the name of the chapter, then it doesn't propagate to the end of the line.
