If you have typed in the language you're trying tu se, then switching to 
the native layout is quickest, though confusing. The trouble with the 
autocorrect for em dashes is that it doesn't work until you press the space 
bar after the word which comes after the hyphens to be corrected. I filed a 
bug about this years ago. It would to autocorrect as soon as you have typed 
two hyphens and a space. Word shows the same behaviour. I can only suppose 
that this is connected to the code that turns a coupel of hyphens into a 
line across the page in some circumstances -- two consecutive hyphens might 
be expanded into two different abbreviations, so the autocorrect dcode 
dithers. Bloody stupid, if you ask me. gaaaaah.
