Fix TOC Text Frame Style: align chapter level with text frame border

Using the TOC creation window to make my TOC, there is a problem with vertical alignment of some of the text:

 

the first level (chapter level) text is always partially above the text frame, whereas the second level text is within the top text frame border (see image below).  I have reviewed Style Options > Text Frame General Options > Inset Spacing = 0.0in for all sides. And neither Gutter nor Vertical Justification fixes it. No other text frames in any of my docs have this issue. It only affects Level 1 text, and repeats throughout the TOC. Adjustments to the Inset Spacing affects all other text proportionally as well (thus, not solving the issue).

 

Does anyone else have this problem? Any idea why this happens and (more importantly) how to fix?

I also made sure that,

All looks good now!
