Hi there!
It’s good to see you have a keen eye 😀 Not many people can spot the slight difference between a dash and a hyphen.
Now, we’re aware of this issue, and it’s because we texturize the title for proper lossless character escaping. After careful consideration of the security overhead fixing this has, we decided to remove the hyphen option altogether in the next update (TSF v4.0.0).
All users now using the hyphen option will be migrated to use the endash:
- > –.
