tocloft appears to raise the table of contents of books. What gives?


How to linebreak part ToC entries using tocloft/titletoc and the book classChange title of Table of ContentsPage number on the left with book classMemoir: Custom Table of Contents with “veelo” Chapter StyleHow to create additional space below Section headings followed by Subsections in the Table of ContentsSeparate table of contents for appendixTable of Contents different margins on first and subsequent pagesHow to exclude just one chapter number in the table of contents?Level Specific Spacing in Table of ContentsHow do I center the table of contents title without using tocloft?

I would like to use the tocloft package for customizing the table of contents in my "book" document. However, when I include this package, the table of contents shifts upward by the line width of a single TOC entry. What could be the issue?



The minimal example in this case is surprisingly minimal:



documentclass{book}
usepackage{tocloft}

begin{document}
tableofcontents
chapter{First chapter}
section{A section}
end{document}


A tip for those who don't immediately see a visual difference: It helps to print out page 1 before and after commenting out usepackage{tocloft} and then place the sheets of paper on top of each other and hold them up to the light. (I'm serious.)
