           Summary: FORMATTING Autocorrect Replace does not correct two
                    dashes to em-dash *they way it should*
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Windows (All)
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: All
            Status: NEW
           Version: 4.0.3.3 release
         Component: Writer
           Product: LibreOffice

two dashes -- won't be replaced in some cases ..

#1 

you type:
 yes said she

into which you insert 2 dashes: 
yes -- said she

now this one to get replaced to em dash
you need to add a letter after the dashes to activate autocorrect


 yes -- aa said she

plus:
you'll need to add a space after them ..

 yes -- aa said she

...................................................

#2
you type:
"yes" said she

everything is the same, except it will only work if you add some word after the
quotation mark too ..

"yes" aa -- aa said she
and now it'll work

the same for question mark too ..
yes? said she

and periods like:
yes... said she
it'd take to type:
yes... aa -- aa said she
..................................................

the way it should work is (in my pov) is 
typing "--" plus a space and it'd get replaced ...

or without spaces.. 
(this already works fine !!) 
typing a word plus 2 dashes without space ..
and add a space after the second word ..
(this already works fine)


I hope i didn't write anything stupid ...


i'm aware of bug 55292 (for a libreoffice version 3.6.0.2 rc 
but i was totally satisfied with my last version:
libreoffice 4.0.2.2

this problem came in 4.0.3.3

and i'll check if it's present in 4.0.4.1 rc or not


thank you for your work:
Peter Josvai
