Control the size of dimensions within a sketch?

Occasionally when I dimension lines within a sketch, they display themselves in a pretty obnoxious manner.  I think this is related to how far zoomed in or out I am when I place them.  For example, I placed one when zoomed pretty far out and it appears normal, but then I zoom in and it still keeps the excess of lines for the arrows like in the picture below.  Is there a way to "normalize" these dimensions without completely redoing them, or is this done on purpose for a reason I'm unaware of?

Are you starting out with a large sketch, zooming in and out..?

 

It shouldn't be like that ..

Here's the file.  I placed dimension when I was zoomed far our relative to the sketch, and when I zoom in it doesn't resize as I would expect it to.
