The plot looks confusing, check the documentation there is an attribute called force. If you reduce the value you should get better results. For removing the line you have to play around with this attribute:

min.segment.length Skip drawing segments shorter than this, as unit or number. Defaults to 0.5. (Default unit is lines, but other units can be specified by passing unit(x, "units")).
