OK, I was able to reproduce it in a brand-new spreadsheet:
1. fill manually A5 with hyphens
2. point on right-end-corner of cell A5 and drag it up to cell D5:
all cells from A1 to D5 are now filled with hyphens.
3. At this stage, if you type a hyphens in any cell on columns C,D,E and
press Enter, the cell will be automaically filled!
Don't ask me why ;-)
Good night,
Ennio.
