I am having a strange problem with dashtypes. If I use the tikz term (and then process the output with pdflatex to make a nice pdf) I see that the dashtype command makes not only the line dashed, but also the error bar on the data point (which I don't want dashed). If I use the pngcairo terminal the problem goes away. Am I doing something stupid?
Code (using gnuplot 5.0rc2:
set term tikz size 5in,7in
set output "new.tex"
set term pngcairo enhanced
set output 'test.png'
set multiplot layout 2,1
set lmargin at screen 0.15
set rmargin at screen 0.85
set bmargin at screen 0.51
set tmargin at screen 0.85
unset label
set xrange [-10:10]
set xtics format ''
set style line 1 lc rgb 'red'
set style line 2 lc rgb 'blue' pt 7 ps 2
set style line 3 dt 2 lc rgb 'dark-violet'
plot \
x ls 1,\
x**2 ls 2
set lmargin at screen 0.15
set rmargin at screen 0.85
set bmargin at screen 0.15
set tmargin at screen 0.49
set format x
set yrange [-1:1]
plot \
x**3 ls 3,\
'-' u 1:2:3 w yerr ls 2
0 0 0.3

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Thank you for testing the -rc versions, and thanks for reporting a problem.
It would not surprise me that there are glitches in the dashed line processing, which after all is brand new.
When I run your script through gnuplot_5.0.rc2 as built here I don't get any dashed lines. I attach the output. But your script doesn't request any dashed lines, so that is to be expected. Did you intend to show a script that requested dashed lines?
Mmm, I get the x**3 line to be dashed (as requested in this script with the ls 3, where set style line 3 has a dt 2 in it... then the error bar on the data point is also (unfortunately) dashed as well. I can attach my .tex files in the morning if that will help. Thanks!

Huh. I'm not currently seeing any dashed lines at all from tikz in -rc2, which probably means I messed up the installation somehow.
But I can reproduce your problem in current CVS, so I'll take it from there.
Thanks for the bug report.
I will move this to the bug tracker.
