Lines with same arrow head settings but different results

If I draw a line and, then, set attributes I get different results in the look of the arrow head than if I set the attributes before drawing the line.

In both cases, the attributes were set using the Line and Filling toolbar.

The settings used were:
  Line Style: Double Dash
  Line Width: 0.10"
  Ending Arrowhead: Arrow large

I've attached an image showing the results.

Right-click on both lines, Line, Line [tab], and you can see that they have a different 'End Style' - 'Width' (right-bottom).

I put the second with the same as the first, save and reopening, and they remain the same.

Good discovery. That answers the question as to why the two lines look different.

So the real question is: Why were they given different settings? 

Is this a bug in the Line and Filling toolbar setting different Arrow attributes depending on whether something is selected or not?

It's odd, IMHO. There are multiple things off. See bug 155061 bug 155062 bug 155063
