I'm having really hard time with a custom Table of Contents with titletoc: wrong links with hyperref package because of a bug (this has already been noted by Bezos, creator of titletoc).
Given the simple following code:
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{titletoc}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\titlecontents{chapter}%
[0em]% left
{\bigskip}% above
{\bf\large\contentslabel[\thecontentslabel.]{2em}\hspace{0em}}%
{\hspace*{-2em}}%
{\hfill\bf\contentspage}%
[\smallskip]%
%
\titlecontents{section}%
[1.5em]%
{\small\contentsmargin{1.5em}}%
{\bf\thecontentslabel\hspace{7pt}}%
{\hspace*{-2em}}%
{\enspace\titlerule*[0.5pc]{.}~\contentspage}%
%
\titlecontents*{subsection}%
[3em]%
{\footnotesize\contentsmargin{0em}}%
{\thecontentslabel\space}%
{}%
{}%
[ -- ]%
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{Title}
\lipsum
\section{Title}
\subsection{Title}
\subsection{Title}
\subsection{Title}
\lipsum
\subsection{Title}
\subsection{Title}
\lipsum
\chapter{Title}
\chapter{Title}
\end{document}
one can suddenly notice (see figure below) that the hyperlink to 'Chapter 2' points to 'Subsection 1.1', which is really annoying.
I've searched long around tex.SE but solutions to the same problem do not cure the pathology with this layout which I need to maintain. I'm also surprised since the only difference in the starred version seems to be the spacing in number of paragraphs
\newcommand\titlecontents{%
\@ifstar{\ttl@contents{\z@}}% \z@ = zero paragraph?
{\ttl@contents{\@ne}}}% \@ne = zero paragraph?
but I could not go further since nesting dolls-like function get definition and the code unaccessible.
Finally I noted that the problem is just given by the very first chapter following a subsection (it does not happen between subsections, subsections and sections nor between sections and chapters nor between chapters and chapters, then if one could add a real \phantomsection, that is it does not shows in the TOC.
