OK, that tells me that the TOC style has the hanging indent and tab stop saved as part of the style.



If you look at the ruler when your cursor is in one of those paragraphs you will see settings similar to this picture. Note the tab stop after the hanging indent (at 2cm in my picture) which happens to align with where the page number is appearing on the really short line. The longer line gets past this point before the tab appears so that line is not impacted by that extra tab stop.

Remove that extra tab stop from your TOC paragraph and save this to change to the style (you may have Automatically Update on your TOC styles so this 'might' be automatic). Once your style is fixed to exclude this extra tab stop, you can update the TOC and then select it and press Ctrl-Q to reset the paragraph formats to the (now corrected) style definition.

Note that this is commonly called the Jason Tab because it will come back whenever you update the TOC (it won't stay dead). You can do a google search for this term to learn about it further.
