--- Comment #5 from sdc.blanco at youmail.dk ---
Some discrepancies/inconsistencies (and possible bug) to consider.

1. Insert - Caption - Separator  

   Allows more than one character and actually adds them.  Also remembers the
entire string, the next time the dialog is opened.

(this probably motivated the expectation that Edit Field - Separator could be
more than one character).

(the current behavior of separator in the Insert dialog seems good -- but is
sort of inconsistent with the Edit Fields dialog.)

2. Insert - Caption - Numbering Separator  (after choosing "Numbering first" in
Options - Caption order).

    Allows more than one character and actually adds them -- but does not
remember them when the dialog is reopened.  (inconsistent with 1)

3. Insert - Caption - Options - Separator 

 --  could not get it to work
 --  does not remember entered value on reopening dialog
 --  does show any value entered in Edit Field - Separator  
 --  (seems like a bug somewhere in this interaction).

4.  In Insert - Caption - Options

Maybe label "Numbering Captions by Chapter" should be "Numbering by Chapter"
(to be consistent with Edit Field) and less "noise" in the dialog.

5.  Separator in the Edit Fields dialog refers to the separator between Chapter
number and caption sequence number.  This is different than the "separator" in
the Caption dialog.  Might be good to change the label in the captions dialog
(to avoid confusion with other "separators").  For example, "Before Caption"
seems pretty accurate (because the entry in that field does not appear unless a
caption is entered).

Also, before/After Separator in the Customize List dialog allows for more than
one character, which probably also motivated the expectation that
multi-character separators are allowed.  so this is a third place where
"separator" is used with a different meaning.
