P: The line tool is creating a box instead of a line in Photoshop 23.1 on macOS

Photoshop 2022 - 23.1.0

When I go to create a dashed line:

Line / Shape / Fill - off / Stroke - on / 4px / Stroke: Align: Center, Caps: butt, Corners: miter, Dashed line: checked, Dash 10-Gap 8

When I drag out the line it looks like there are two lines and if I grab and expand the handles in the middle it becomes a box. This isn't helpful. I specifically selected Line, not Box. Is this a bug or a setting?

I've asked engineering to investigate.

Here's another example:

As you can see when I'm zoomed in my two pixel "line" is actually two lines dashed on the outside.

I also responded in email:
macOS Monterey

Version 12.0.1

MacBook Air (M1, 2020)

Chip Apple M1

Memory 8GB

Resetting the tool didn’t do anything.

Thanks for your timely response,
