Have an Issue with the list of figures appearance

floatslayouttable of contents

I am working on a big document, therefore I have a lot of figures. The list of figures was perfect until I exceeded 10 figures in one of the chapters. then It started looking like this.

LOF

Is there a way I can fix the appearance? I am new to Latex so I just didn't know what to do.
Thank you

I suggest that you type the following in the preambles:

\makeatletter
\renewcommand*\l@figure{\@dottedtocline{1}{1.5em}{3.6em}}
\makeatother

If this answer is not clear, I give you a sample LaTeX program to follow it..

\documentclass{book}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand*\l@figure{\@dottedtocline{1}{1.5em}{3.6em}}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\chapter{Introduction}
\section{Control Systems}
\subsection{Linear Control Systems}
\subsection{Nonlinear Control Systems}
\end{document}

Of course, you need to insert figures etc.. Try the commands given in preamble for your document.
