We discussed the issues you brought up in last wednesday's design meeting and
the mockup will be utilized in the various index/table types that it works
correctly with.

Looking at the structure of the bibliography entries tab, the mockup would also
work fine, as the 'Add' button contains a list of entries that can be added, so
it would have the same entries found in the drop-down selection list in
bibliography.

Well that should be filed as another bug if it isnt already. :D

The new mockup doesnt change this aspect of the dialog. Currently, when you
click on a tab stop, you are given four fields - character style, fill
character, tab stop position, align right - which control the look of the
spacing between the entry and the page number.

Thank Owen. Most things have been untangled now, so all that is necessary is a
developer to turn this into reality.
