This should be addressed to the Affinity Range.

Dashed lines should not scale by length when adjusting the width, only the width should increase, as it stands, if you increase the width of a dashed line from say .5mm to 1mm the dashes increase in length knocking any phase adjusts you have made "out of whack" effectively destroying the phase setting.

What should happen is the width of the dash should increase and the length of the dash should not, this means any phase adjustments you have applied will be retained.

This leads me on to Alignment, there should be an alignment option to create a symmetrical dash, the corners would have a symmetrical L shaped dash  and single lines would have a half dash at each end. See bottom image for an example.
