Graph shows too many unnecessary lines for merge (only for mac version)

Graph shows too many unnecessary lines for merge (only for mac version). I believe this is a bug and I also report it at https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREE-7696.

But it seems that I can't attached pictures in bug report there while the pictures clearly shows my problem. Without the pictures it is hard to explain my problem, so I am asking my question here again. I also hope maybe someone has a workaround for it.

In the picture you can see the leftmost line is branch v5, the line next to it is v4. What I did were to merge v4 into v5 at some points. But graph shows too many lines I have no idea where they came from.

This happens in all mac version. BUT the window version is correct.

Compared to the graph in the window version, which is correct

After further investigation now I understand why. It is because I use ancestor order in mac but date order in window. If I use date order I will get the same graph.

 

But I have to say the ancestor order is quite unreadable with so many lines.
