Ordered list TOC has too little indentation (leading spaces) for items whose parent's ordinal is 10 or above

See original GitHub issue

What is the problem?

I have "markdown.extension.toc.orderedList": true and "markdown.extension.toc.levels": "2..6".

The document with inserted (auto-generated) toc is as follows:

# Dummy

1. [Dummy1](#dummy1)
2. [Dummy2](#dummy2)
3. [Dummy3](#dummy3)
   1. [Dummy3.1](#dummy31)
   2. [Dummy3.2](#dummy32)
   3. [Dummy3.3](#dummy33)
4. [Dummy4](#dummy4)
5. [Dummy5](#dummy5)
6. [Dummy6](#dummy6)
7. [Dummy7](#dummy7)
8. [Dummy8](#dummy8)
9. [Dummy9](#dummy9)
   1. [Dummy9.1](#dummy91)
   2. [Dummy9.2](#dummy92)
10. [Dummy10](#dummy10)
   1. [Dummy10.1](#dummy101)
   2. [Dummy10.2](#dummy102)
11. [Dummy11](#dummy11)
12. [Dummy12](#dummy12)
   1. [Dummy12.1](#dummy121)
   2. [Dummy12.2](#dummy122)

## Dummy1

## Dummy2

## Dummy3

### Dummy3.1

### Dummy3.2

### Dummy3.3

## Dummy4

## Dummy5

## Dummy6

## Dummy7

## Dummy8

## Dummy9

### Dummy9.1

### Dummy9.2

## Dummy10

### Dummy10.1

### Dummy10.2

## Dummy11

## Dummy12

### Dummy12.1

### Dummy12.2

The issue is that toc when saving and auto-updating itself aligns all the sub-items with the same spacing. Which works just fine for all sub-items with parents up to 9. However all sub-items with parent items 10 and above should have an extra space. Is there some way to configure this?

Additionally, the default initial spacing for sub-items is 3 spaces. Would be nice to be able to change this (to say, 4).

Is there any error message in the console?

No.

I agree.

Additionally, the default initial spacing for sub-items is 3 spaces. Would be nice to be able to change this (to say, 4).

Please try setting markdown.extension.list.indentationSize to inherit. Then the tab size can be configured per document (at the right bottom corner).

Indeed, it was still on inherit. Removing the configuration for list.indentationSize worked!

So overall, I can confirm TOC generation (wrt. indentation) works for me now like a charm! Thanks for fixing.
