Table of Contents Macro: Position of Heading 6 Changes Based on Heading Size Following it

      When using a Heading 6 after using the Table of Contents Macro, the position moves based on the next Heading. Reported for version 5.4.4 but I replicated in 5.4.4 and 5.5.4.

      Reproduction steps:

      1. Create a new page
      2. Insert Table of Contents macro
      3. Type a line, make it Heading 1
      4. Type a second line, make it Heading 6
      5. Type a third line, make it Heading 1 and save
      6. Edit the document, make the third line Heading 2 and save
      7. Continue changing the heading type for the third line

      Expected behavior

      The position of the second line should stay the same, only the position of the third line should change

      Actual behavior

      The position of the second line moves based on the heading type used for the third line.

            Given the thousands of other issues we have open that are more highly requested, we won't be able to address this issue in the foreseeable future. Instead we will focus on bugs with a higher impact, and more votes.

            Thanks for taking the time to raise this issue. As you are no doubt aware this issue has been on our backlog for some time now with very little movement.

            I'm going to close this to set expectations so the issue doesn't stay open for years with few updates. If demand for this picks up, we will reopen the issue.

            Mixed headings.tiff demonstrates how the behavior can give some unexpected results.

            Steve,

            I attached the images. I did some further testing, and it seems that the behavior for all headings is that when a lower heading is used below them it moves right unless it is followed by whatever heading was used before it or followed by the same number Heading. It seems like the macro sets the position of the bullet point relative to the preceding and succeeding headings.

            Cheers,
