Strange effect in TOC/MiniTOC generation

Having answered xxx successfully I became insecure about the process and tested the situation again. I had observed the following since years (windows XP up, FM-8 up to 16), but now I want to find a solution/reason. I have not yet tested in full the new feature "last line indent" - the demos are controversioal for me.

Expecting more than one line for items in generated lists i have > 1 TABs between the <$paratext> and <$pagenum> element on the reference page.

  • When the list (e.g TOC) is generated and I look at it, the TABs seem not to be used at all (in this screenshot it is only one TAB):Gen-list-initial.png
  • Refreshing the screen, re-generating the list - does not change anything.
  • No I select the TAB and enter one manually:Gen-list-manual.png
  • → The TAB  has expanded.
  • See the same effect in a list where I have 3 TABs provided to cope with even more lines:Gen-list-initial.png

→ Why are the generated TABs not expanded in line 2…n ?

Testing the new feature in FM-17 "Last line indent".

IMHO this works correctly only for Last Line Indent = 0:
