Stroke panel: end caps impact to curves

[NotMyFault]

When you chance the cap type from round or butt to square, this leads to a global change of the curve.

Edit: When you use a solid stroke combined with dotted stroke, both do not match the curvature. Applies when square end caps are used combined with dotted stroke.

This become most obvious if you add a second dashed stroke with square cap. The strokes no longer matches the curvature.

What would help is

1. a optional feature to limit square caps to the actual outside of the end node of the curve, and suppress the square (use butt cap) within the curve.
2. a feature to specify caps separate for the start / end nodes.

I think that’s the key to what we’re seeing here. Each dash has a square cap applied, and those caps are straight. Butt caps wouldn’t suffer from this problem.

Hi @NotMyFault,

I've logged this with the Developers to see if this can be improved on
