That's not "weird" Glen, it's totally normal behaviour.
All the -- means is that it's been unable to take a longterm reading and the reasons for that are 1) you've been spanking it for a while (eg, trackday) or 2) you only do short journeys.
I generally do about 8 miles a day (to work and back) - car never gets fully warm. As a result my reading is nearly always --
As you say a longer 'normal drive' journey is required to acheive a successful longterm reading
