Post From: Draw Style Dash and Line Style Dash combination not working as expected

Hi,

I'm using "Period OHLC" study to display the daily open price on my lower timeframe charts. I'm using using it with Draw Style Dash and Line Style Dash with width 1 and that works great. However if I increase the width of the dash above 1, the dash turns to a solid line. Logically it doesn't make sense so I don't think its by design.

I can't find any way to make a thick dash line without using Draw Style "Stair Step", but then it looks bad on the chart because of the vertical stair step lines. I don't see why Sierra would allow line width greater than 1 for Stair Step with Dash and not for Dash with Dash

I've attached 3 images of a 1hr chart with a daily open loaded to help demonstrate what I mean.

1. Draw Style Dash and Line Style Dash with width 1 (Works great) http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1520785308161.png
2. Draw Style Dash and Line Style Dash with width 2 (turns into line) http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=152078554919.png
3. Draw Style Stair Step and Line Style Dash with width 2 (works as expected) http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1520785986827.png

My apologies if this is by design and your patience is appreciated. I've tried multiple workarounds and cant find a way to do what I want without using Stair step. Please let me know if there is another draw style to achieve what I need

Thanks
