Bug introduced in 10.0.1 and fixed in 10.0.2 -- appears to affect Linux only.

It has been really strange for me. I am not sure it's regression after v10.0.1, or something went wrong with my system. After running this simple code

b = Plot[x, {x, 0, 10}, Frame -> True, PlotStyle -> Dashed]

my Mathematica window becomes

enter image description here

Edit:

(1) Just re-installed v9.0.1, there is no such problem on v9.0.1. So it is regression.

(2) Seen from comments/answers, Windows and Mac do not have this problem, but problem under Linux is confirmed.

(3) The problem is already in Graphics (which is more fundamental). For example,

Graphics[{Dashed, Circle[]}]

has the same problem.

    $\begingroup$ I don't notice this on Windows, so it's probably a system dependent bug. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ The same problem in Ubuntu + 10.0.1 . Moreover, no such behavior observed in 10.0. Seriously, this is not user-friendly. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @halirutan confirmed that it was reproducible on our end, and I believe a fix is in the next version. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Indeed, it's fixed in 10.0.2. Finally I don't have to reopen the files in M9 to make plots :) $\endgroup$

I am having a same problem on Linux, Mathematica 10.0.01. My "solution" (if you are looking for it?) for dashing of the frame was to specify each frame part individually:

b = Plot[{x, x^2}, {x, 0, 10}, Frame -> True,
   FrameStyle -> {{Dashing[1], Dashing[1]}, {Dashing[1], Dashing[1]}}, PlotTheme -> "Monochrome"]

enter image description here

Very annoyingly, if I try to do the same trick to fill plot lines, one of them gets "cut"

b = Plot[{x, x^2}, {x, 0, 10}, Frame -> True,
   FrameStyle -> {{Dashing[1], Dashing[1]}, {Dashing[1], Dashing[1]}},
   PlotStyle -> {Dashing[1], Dashing[1]}, PlotTheme -> "Monochrome"]

    $\begingroup$ Nice, thanks! On my computer this option can be simplified into FrameStyle -> Dashing[1]. Also, if you specify PlotStyle->Dashing[2], you will not get cut. I think the cut is actually the dashing :) $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Also note that solid line means Dashing[{}], so had better not use Dashing[1] or Dashing[2] (otherwise it cuts after the line is long enough). $\endgroup$

I'm expanding my comment to show I get the same problem, on V10.0.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

I can also repeat it like this:

b = Plot[{x, x^2}, {x, 0, 10}, Frame -> True, PlotTheme -> "Monochrome"]

And you can see the dashing in the cells down the right-hand side, as well as the dashed frame.

What is then weirder is if you click on the graph, this happens:

The line that was solid is now dashed too!

    $\begingroup$ Yes, also, if you remove/fold the plot, then fold mathematica window, switch to another window and unfold it back again, the dashes disappear, unless you unfold the plot. $\endgroup$
