Dashed stroke does not follow dash pattern when clipped

[Intuos5]

When the dash pattern for a stroke is clipped (meaning the stroke is too short for the dashes to apply) the pattern is ignored.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a line with the pen tool|
2. Apply a stroke colour and set the stroke to be dashed
3. For the dashes, set increasing sizes, like 1 | 1 | 4 | 4 | 10 | 0 (cap type doesn't matter)
4. Change the length of the line, if the line is too short to display all dashes, only the first two 1 | 1 will be used, rather than clipping off the parts that are too long (e.g. the last 10 should become 5 to make the pattern fit)

Try turning off the Balance button. And why do you want 0 (zero) for the gap after the 10? That will give you 1, 4, 11, 4, 11, 4 for a pattern.

The last one didn't matter for me, I wanted to create an arrow with two short starting dashes.
Balancing does not matter for this.

Hi intuos5,

Thanks for the report, this looks unintentional, i've logged this issue as a bug.
