Hi,Based on suggestions (thank you), I conducted more experiments with autocorrect and em-dash. I don't know if this is what's supposed to happen. But this is what did happen.
1. typed a word 2. typed space 3 typed dash dash 4 typed space 5 typed a word 6 typed spaceAt 6 the previous dash dash was swapped for an em-dash, and this action was repeatable. The replace did happen but at a word beyond where it had been expected. Also, did not lose formatting. Upshot, the before and after blanks seem important signalling tools for the algorithm. I thought about it. Does make sense. I'm considering this yet another case of expectations and reality not quite meeting in the middle.
