I frequently use dashes in my writing to separate clauses in a sentence. 
Conventionally, the appropriate dash is an em-dash.  This is pre-programmed into
Writer's autocorrect feature so that a double-dash will be automatically
converted into an em-dash.

However, if the double-dash character follows a single or double quote,
parentheses or other punctuation mark, the autocorrect feature does not
recognize it and the double-dash is not converted.  

To reproduce this issue, activate autocorrect and type the following into 
Writer:

Convert--double-dash     <-- the double-dash is converted to an em-dash
`Convert'--double-dash   <-- the double-dash is not converted following the 
                             single quote.
