At least not easily. (It works if you insert with spaces and delete them later.) OTOH, with the old behaviour strange things happen on export: 1) start a new document and insert this---foo 2) copy from another source bar—bar (with Unicode emdash literal) In LyX <2.2, both emdashes look completely identical, but one allows line breaks after the dash and the other not!
