amCharts: how to draw correct smoothed line with data gaps

When drawing a smoothed line with data gaps, I see this incorrect behaviour of the renderer. This only happens for the smoothed line, i.e. when setting series.tensionX = 0.77. If the tensionX is set to 1 the line is drawn correctly.

How can I correct this wrong behaviour?

Solution

For anyone interested, the solution is to change the smoothing algorithm. https://www.amcharts.com/docs/v4/chart-types/xy-chart/#Alternate_smoothing_algorithm

By setting series.smoothing = "monotoneX" the line will be drawn correctly. Credits goes to martynasma, who answered here: https://github.com/amcharts/amcharts4/issues/3219
