Split task tasks won't shorten?

[davegb]

I have split tasks in my projects where the split was lengthened, then
later shortened. While the normal blue bar ends at the correct,
earlier date, there is a trail of dots following the to the right of
the end of the blue bar, and the tasks finish date is the date where
the trail of dots ends, not where the blue bar ends. I want the finish
date to be the end of the blue bar, and to remove the trail of dots to
the right of it. Has anyone seen this before? Anyone know a fix for
this?

Hi Dave,

This is normally caused by your TASK TYPE being a FIXED DURATION. To change it, double click on the task name, click Advanced tab, and amend the task type window. Sometimes, however, this doesn't always work particularly well - so you might have to just manually re-set the task and manually insert the split.
