--- Comment #3 from David Elliott <de...@my.fit.edu> ---
Reproduced on Windows 10 Pro and Mac OS 10.11.3. Both were running OpenOffice
4.1.2 AOO412m3 (Build: 9782) – Rev. 1709696. Steps followed and results
produced were the same as cwinget2014@my.fit.edu.

A further issue was noticed while experimenting with this bug. After creating
the index, if the user wishes to change the Structure and Formatting of the
table, the changes stack for each new entry format instead of updating the
entry.

How to replicate:

1. Create a new OpenOffice text document.
2. Enter the text: “Heading 1”
3. Press Ctrl+1 to make that line have the Heading 1 type, or go to the box in
the top-left of the screen that says “Default” and change it to “Heading 1”.
You should see an increase in size of the text immediately.
4. Press enter and type “Test 1” below it. The text should be normal size and
have the type “Text body”.
5. Highlight the text “Test 1”.
6. Go to Insert -> Indexes and Tables -> Entry…
7. In the index text box, select Alphabetical Index.
8. Click Insert and close the Insert Index Entry window. “Test 1” should now be
highlighted in gray.
9. Press enter a few times and go to Insert -> Indexes and Tables -> Indexes
and Tables.
10. Under Type, select Alphabetical Index.
11. Click the “Entries” tab at the top of the window. Click the box under
Structure and Formatting called “Chapter Info”. 
12. Under Chapter entry, change the value from “Number range only” to “Number
range and description”.
13. Click OK.

The original bug should now be replicated and the alphabetical index should
show as its first entry, “??Test 1Test 1”.

14. Now, right-click the Alphabetical Index and click “Edit Index/Table”.
15. The Entries tab should still be open, but Chapter Info should not be
selected. Go ahead and click the Chapter info box again and change the Chapter
entry to “Description only”, simulating a user who no longer wanted to have the
number range included in the entries.
16. Click OK.
17. The entry should now read “Test 1?? Test 1Test 1”, where the first “Test 1”
is what should have been the only thing to appear. However, the text has
instead been concatenated with the previous entry.
18. Repeatedly editing the index to try and fix it only makes the problem
worse, making the entry lines extremely long and unreadable.
19. Adding more entries and updating the table by right-clicking -> Update
Index/Table shows that the new entries now also have the same problem.

Note that this behavior does not occur for the Table of Contents index, only
Alphabetical and User-Defined. Also note that this concatenation error occurs
regardless of whether or not the original posted bug has been replicated, so it
might be considered a separate bug.

This was tested on both Windows 10 Pro and Mac OS 10.11.3 as well.
