Ah, I can duplicate that now. I was using what you would call the 3rd pattern (I didn't count the solid line as a pattern).
Yes, this is definitely a bug. The last dash pattern is actually a special one used for drawing the guidelines. The size of the dashes does not scale with the line width like it does for all the other styles and the actual dash definition is the same as the first one in the list. This confuses the gallery causing both of them to appear selected.
This problem is present back to Xtreme 2.0 (and probably earlier). It should be a pretty trivial fix.

Cheers Tom. Attached is a xar file as an example of how using a single line, cloning it and giving it various line widths you can generate very convincing roads, railway lines and rivers.
One further point Tom. I'm on a new Crusade .... unless it is absolutely necessary please don't repeat earlier posting within new posts. It's not needed.
Tom it is unnecessary to quote a post that is immediately before your reply. Anyone viewing the thread can see both without a duplicate within the reply.
It is wasteful of hard drive space on the Xara servers and makes following the logic of a thread difficult.
So is continual Wacking - :( - Tom
Tom, it's just a request. Very sinilar to "Please stay on topic" requests. It's a comment you're likely to see over the next few weeks in a few threads. It's just a matter of trying to keep the threads clean and mean. No offence was intended, just some minor Moderation.
