They should go purple - the dash only occurs if Hobbit is restarted and
loses all info about there ever having been a status (which shouldn't 
happen either, because 1: Hobbit shouldn't restart on its own, and 2: 
if it restarts, it should pick up the old set of status messages from
the checkpoint-file it generates).

Could you check your hobbitlaunch.log file for any signs of the
"hobbitd" task being restarted ?
