Easy Question: Gantt bar split by . . .

I created a task that has a duration of 8 hours (10 hous or work) and in the Gantt Chart view, the blue bar for that task starts on a Thursday with 1 hour of work, and then has .................. with it resuming on Tuesday. What does that mean and why did it do that?

Thanks!

Hi Jeremy,

Is this the only task? Have you assigned resources? Have you changed any
working hour calendars? More info please.

No, there are about 30 tasks, with two resources (programmers). I changed the working calendar (1 day = 4.8 hours) and I changed the default working day to be from 12:12 pm to 5 pm to force the 4.8 hour day. Let me know if you need more info, but this is the only task doing it. If you want, I can email screen shots or whatever you would like.
Thanks!

Jeremy

Hi Jeremy. Better to send me the project - zip it up and email it to me.
