When I use the “Connect All” function on multiple selected notes, some connections are created with dashes, but most are created with solid lines.

How can I ensure that _all_ connections created with “Connect All” are dashes?

I’ve never seen that happen myself. A few things to check:

- What is the state of the **Use dashes for lines without arrows** setting, in the General tab?
- If you toggle that back and forth, does it clean up the problem?
- Does reloading the board clean up the problem?
