--- Comment #8 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the proposal in the design meeting.

According the help [1] we change "A, space, minus, space, B" as well as "A,
space, minus, minus, space, B" to EN-dash. This autocorrection aligns with MSO
and the demands from English grammar. EN dash is used for ranges, EM dash to
substitute commas and to emphasis content. It is convenient (and likely
familiar for native English speaker) to distinguish between EN and EM by adding
spaces. Changing the autocorrection is WF/NAB.

Without space "A, minus, minus, B" is supposed to become an EM-dash, which is
not working => bug. Please file a follow-up ticket, if you can confirm.
