Several UI buttons are labeled with a single ellipsis (...). The use of such label in buttons is less than optimal, since it does not give to the user an idea of what action will be executed on clicking the button. Besides, the new Glade/UI files are suitable for widgets autosizing, and button size adjustement should not be a concern, which will help translators. My suggestion is to change the ellipsis into a more meaningfull label. For example Insert -> Table of Contents -> Index and Table of contents tab -> Create from -> Styles -> ... This last ellipsis means actually "Assign styles...".
