Up until the ribbon version of WLW when I typed something like this:
Windows Live Writer - The Best Way to Post to Any Blog!
I got this as a hardlink to my post:
windows-live-writer-the-best-way-to-post-to-any-blog
Notice the hyphen is the minus sign.
Now it is automatically converted to this:
Windows Live Writer – The Best Way to Post to Any Blog!
Notice the - is now a – which is bigger and appears to be some kind of hyphen mark like your way of converting quotes in Word.
My problem is that this was only converted before if I wrote -- and - was left alone. Now it converts no matter what.
So now my hardlink/slug looks like
windows-live-writerthe-best-way-to-post-to-any-blog
Notice Wordpress didn't know what to do with your mark so it just removed it altogether. My Titles used to look sharp and now I have to use alternate characters for the hyphen and I am not loving it.
Can you go back to having WLW only converting -- and not -?
Just to check I unchecked auto-fixing and that didn't change anything... was running with the theory that it had a rule for this. But no... So please remove that and keep it to -- = hyphen please!
