I have got a strange issue within my list of tables. I made these changes to the commands, which are actually from the template I received.

\renewcommand{\thefigure}{\arabic{section}-\arabic{figure}}
\makeatletter \@addtoreset{figure}{section} \makeatother

\renewcommand{\thetable}{\arabic{section}-\arabic{table}}
\makeatletter @addtoreset{table}{section} \makeatother

and changed settings at the appendix like the following:

\appendix
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Appendix}
\renewcommand{\thesubsection}{A.\arabic{subsection}} 
\renewcommand{\thefigure}{\thesubsection-\arabic{figure}}
\renewcommand{\thetable}{\thesubsection-\arabic{table}}
\setcounter{figure}{0}
\setcounter{table}{0}
\section*{Appendix}

So far it is actually doing what it is supposed to do but there is an ugly inconsistency.

List of tables

Result in list of tables

List of figures

Result in list of figures

I tried to insert a space as \s \, \hspace at several locations in the command to somehow solve the problem but have not been successful.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you

EDIT:

Excerpt of .lot

\contentsline {table}{\numberline {A.4-1}{\ignorespaces THIS WHERE THE CAPTION IS \relax }}{86}{table.caption.1487}%

Excerpt of .lof

\contentsline {figure}{\numberline {A.1-1}{\ignorespaces THIS WHERE THE CAPTION IS\relax }}{59}{figure.caption.225}%

    The difference seems to be in the indentation and spacing. Check the definitions of \l@figure, \l@table and \numberline. – John Kormylo Jul 09 '20 at 13:19
  • Thank you for you suggestion. Could you please specify where to find them. Not completely into Latex yet. Did not find them in console, .lot, .lof, .log, .out, .aux. Meanwhile I share the output of .lof and .lot – blackbaddl Jul 09 '20 at 13:34
  • Found an answer while googling for the terms you mentioned. Been searching for hours before. This might be a duplicate but would not have found without asking. Thank you – blackbaddl Jul 09 '20 at 13:46

The problem is solved by adding this command to the preamble

\makeatletter
\renewcommand*\l@figure{\@dottedtocline{1}{1.5em}{3em}}% 3em instead of 2.3em
\let\l@table\l@figure
\makeatother

Found at this questions after the correct search terms where mentioned in the comments.

List of figures and list of tables overlaps figure/table indices with proceeding text when double figures are used
