Create a new document with some paragraphs with 'Heading 1' style; Insert outline numbering for 'Heading 1' paragraphs (Tools > Outline Numbering... ; Number field to '1, 2, 3, ...'), click OK; Insert a TOC (Insert > Indexes and Tables > Indexes and Tables), click OK; In the new TOC, there isn't space between text and number. The workaround that I use is insert a space between <e#> and <e> in the structure of all entry levels of TOC. But I think Writer can do it automatically. Thanks! Gustavo Pacheco.
Please, attach small document that demonstrates this problem

The bug has been annoying OO.o (and maybe even Staroffice) users for years. There is a workaround (adding a space in Index/Table settings) but by default there should be a space. A lot of users have asked about this: https://www.google.com/search?q=openoffice+toc+space+between
The same in the 3.5.3.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 Really annoying.
Thanks for attachment, workaround, and additional information. It is enhancement request because Writer works correctly, at least formally. But productivity may be increased. Another question: what to add, space or tab? If space, then how much? If tab then on which distance? 0.5 cm looks reasonable for me.
I have inserted one space - and it looks very well. But there is a small problem with this workaround: I have two chapters in the beginning without numbers (anтotation and introduction) if I insert a space it also affects them - they start not from the beginning of the line, but after the space. Of course it is much more better, than it was before without space but does not look perfectly.

Created attachment 61835 [details] The same example, but with tab 0,5 cm instead of space
Looks much more better with tab! But shouldn't be lines without numbers left aligned as the numbered lines? I think this variant will be correct. But your with tab is also very good.
