Description
When setting a dash pattern symbol the pattern gets uncontrollable when feature crosses canvas border.
I suppose it gets rendered starting from a visible part of the feature.
Setting dash size in map units doesn't affect positioning.
Setting "Avoid artifacts when project is rendered as map tiles" doesn't help, though this is the expected behaviour.
So there is no precise control of what feature looks like, i.e. dashes move away from feature corners.
This video demonstrates the issue.

Yes, this is due to the geometries being clipped off at the edges of the canvas.
I wonder if it would be possible to store the length of the clipped-off part to add an offset to the lines' starting point.

Quoting Nyall Dawson from https://issues.qgis.org/issues/16051:
This is caused by the automatic clipping of geometries to the canvas extent (+ a small buffer). You can prevent this by clicking the advanced button in the symbol properties window, and uncheck "clip features to canvas extent".
This issue can be closed.
