the lines were bled of course , no fluid lose ? was it a bargain master cylinder ? It could be bad , if it has abs you can bleed the lines triggering the abs with a certain scan tool

you may not even have ABS brake system but if you do have the brakes bled while triggering the system , there must be air in the lines and it's one thing to eliminate
