Dots after tasks on the Gantt chart

M

Ms Muffin

Hi there
I have a question regarding something dubbed the "trailing split" -
i.e. dots after a task which only happens when I am using Fixed
Duration tasks and I edit an individual's calendar to add non-working
time.
Why do the dots appear on all the tasks allocated to the resource I
have edited, and why do they appear in the wrong timescale, i.e. they
appear on tasks that are not in the same week as the edit I made to the
calendar.
I understand that the reason the dots appear on a task is because the
non-working time has been incorporated into the task but I don't
understand why it has to incorporate this non-working time into tasks
that don't happen in the same week as the edited calendar dates.

I don't want to use Fixed Units or Fixed Work as this is not
appropriate for the tasks I am inputting.

Thus far I have been unable to find a clear and simple explanation
anywhere on the internet, can someone please help, I will be eternally
grateful!
