Random dots in line chart

Dear all,

I might have a very (stupid) question but I am clueless. I have a simple line chart with date on the axis and a measure on Values.

 

Somehow, I get dots on my line for (it appears to me) randoms days. I have no idea why these dots are present and what they would indicate. Attached I provide a screenshot of my line chart and of my fields window for this specific line chart. 

 

All (visual specific) filters are set to "All", except date (but this is visible in the screenshot).

 

 

Thanks in advance!

@Anonymous ,

 

In format pane, check if in Y axis-> style is dotted. Change to solid.

Y-axis formatting was switched off. Even when I switch it on, the line style is solid. Changing this (f.e. to dotted) has no impact on my line even. I'm more thinking of a bug now...
