If the TOC has 1em extra spacing between items by default, then there is no problem. A lot of people use smartphones to read ebooks, therefore, if you produce an EPUB with such a tightly spaced HTML TOC, then many end users will be frustrated with such a buggy TOC where you cannot tap what you want.
I wasn't referring to just the ncx. The html is completely controllable by the person creating the TOC. Please refer to the comments about styling your own HTML TOC - and then saving it so that Sigil will use YOUR style sheet whenever it creates a new TOC.

It is completely under your control. Don't blame Sigil.

....and, FWIW, I read on my smartphone 99.99% of the time and have never had a problem with the HTML TOC - or the ncx TOC for that matter. I use Marvin on the iPhone 4s/5/5s/6/6s and have family members that use other android apps. I highly recommend - again - staying away from the kindle format/kindle app if you want to have any real control over how your book is displayed.Why go through all the hassle trying to convert ePub into kindle to then try and read with a substandard app - just use a better app in the first place!
