While neither English nor Swedish consider the hyphen in space-hyphen-letters to be part of a word (e.g. words of "foo -bar" --> {"foo", "bar"}), Swedish (but *not* English) considers space-hyphen-numbers to be a single word. (E.g. words of "-19 -23" --> {"-19" "-23"} in Swedish, but {"19", "23"} in English.)

I tried this on 9.0.4 and 9.1 -- with the text behavior set to Swedish, it considers the leading hyphen to be part of a number-word. Check the Text control panel and make sure it's set to Swedish. If it's not, change it and restart the machine.

Ahaaa!... It needs to be restarted!! That explains the mysteries!
As you may have seen, I already tried that change in the Text control panel from English to Swedish, and it had no effect whatsoever! But the control panel didn't inform me that I need to restart the machine for the change to take affect. Now I restarted, and now it works as you say!
Thanks for the explanation!
As you work for Apple, it would be good if you could tell those working on the next release of the OS to have the Text CP inform the user that the machine needs to be restarted for for the change to take effect (or better yet, to make it work without a restart).
With the Best Regards,
