Trim Paths at 0% but path origins still visible

Community Beginner ,

Hi there. I'm making simple animations with Trim Paths. Sometimes, when the Trim "Start" and "End" values are both at 0%, the path origins will still be visible as small dots. I've emptied my cache and the version is current (15.0.0 Build 180). Is this a bug, or am I missing something obvious?

If you are using round cap you need to adjust the gap. If you want dots set dashes to zero and the gap to a multiple of the stroke width. These are shape layer basics.

try to isolate your problem. one layer, one shape. press UU to see all modified properties and reset to default anything until you find the bug or user error. and show it to us too.

The dots go away when the Stroke Line Cap is changed from "Round Cap" to "Butt Cap". I don't really like the way that looks, though. Is there any way to keep the Round Caps?

Just drag your screenshots to the forum. EZ as pie, or even easier on Windows, PrintScreen and Paste.

I can't see any of the screenshots so I have no idea what is going on.

Hmm, for some reason, Adobe won't open those links. They still work if you right click and select "Open in New Window"

But here they are, embedded. Not about the resolution, though.
