How to connect a note to a single class with a dashed line?

Question

I'd like to connect a note to a class. When I connect it with several classes, PlantUML draws dashed lines to them, but when I connect it to just one class, PlantUML draws a speech-bubble-like dent. Is it possible to make PlantUML draw a dashed line, also between a note and a single class? If so, how?

(I think always using dashed lines to connect notes to classes would be more compliant to the UML stnadards, regardless of the number of classes to which the note is being connected.

With last beta http://beta.plantuml.net/plantuml.jar you can now have :

@startuml
skinparam style strictuml
class dummy
note top of dummy
  In java, <size:18>every</size> <u>class</u>
  <b>extends</b>
  <i>this</i> one.
end note
