--- Comment #8 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Can not confirm because there is no auto-replacement for either the
multiplication sign nor the minus sign provided by Language Settings -> English
Sentence Checking.

Those are pattern matched syntax *checks* receiving only the blue squiggles of
"grammar-check", no auto-replacement is applied by the feature.

The minus sign "check" will only occur if the AutoCorrect Options -> Options
panel 'Replace dashes' is unchecked. Likewise the 'Ellipsis' "check" will only
occur if the Autocorrect Option -> Replace table entry '.*...' is deleted.

By design the AutoCorrect actions take priority over the grammar checks.

You can add your preferred AutoCorrect actions, or manually enter your
preferred glyph with the Special Character dialog.

But still some potential to improve the match syntax around dash/minus and
x/multiplication sign use.

@László, any comment? Should the "Change" strings in the tooltips [1] be
adjusted to read "Checks for" to avoid confussion?

Otherwise would resolve =>NAB
