Place component error

I try to place the capacitors parallel but the wires are weird.please see the picture below. The problem is gone if two capacitors are apart more than 200 mil or misalign. I tried to change the footprint and check the constrain but no help. How can I solve the problem?

    Not a bug.  It's a feature.

    <mouse menu button on the right>  >Quick Utilities >Design Parameters  

    Display Tab, Display group  [Ratsnest geometry]  It's set to Jogged for that to happen (so you can accurately see where the rats is connected). 

    Change it to Straight.
