It is the second time for the last month I saw this question? May be it
should be included to FAQ?
The solution is to modify the lines
\def\l@table\l@figure
\def\l@figure{\dottedtocline{1}{1.5em}{2.3em}}
You may add
\makeatletter
\def\l@table\l@figure
\def\l@figure{\dottedtocline{1}{2.5em}{2.3em}}
\makeatother
at the begining of your file.
Comment:
It looks very strange that being so adjustable, LaTeX has these parameters
as exact numbers instead of being definitions. You should delve in to find
what to do.
