  <p>As you can see in the Value Graphic, the second part of the line is a broken line, but I didn't make it that way, and I can't fix that.</p>
  
  <p>That causes the shape to continue moving forward a little bit instead of going back immediately.</p>
  
  <p>I didn't set easy ease or staff like that. It happens every time, but I don't know what is controlling this!</p>
  
  <p>Help!</p>

  Reason: Bezier will cause After Effects randomly mass up the path of the shape.
