Tools -> Autocorrect -> Autocorrect options -> Options tab -> Replace dashes is
being checked..so enabled.. 

So it appears to be disabled the wrong way :-). If this setting should be
enabled or disabled by default is by itself another discussion.. MSO does the
same thing (not sure how strong that argument is). And this being the behavior
since.. long time (with some interval of being broken..)

However the 'boom' aspect as argued in the ask topic is pretty the same as
markdown issue. However here this clearly being 'allowed' [sorry, keep bring
this up until a compromise being found :-]

Not having a 'strong' preference.. could start about a kind of dialog with
'most common' configuration settings instead of being distributed across the
place.

So to be short, this bugfix is incomplete or simply wrong. Aside of the topic
if this the right thing to do.. but should be but on the UX agenda to get a
kind of 'formal' decision, instead of sneaking it in.
