How to prevent making ["-" + "spacebar"] turn into an enumeration?

Hello
while making class diagrams I use the "-" symbol a lot to mark private attributes. However it always autoformats it into an enumeration with of dots. I couldn't find a way to deactivate this feature.

    Hi Bill

    Thanks for posting on the community! Unfortunately there is not a way to turn off this behavior. However I understand how this feature would cause difficulties when creating your diagrams. Would you mind adding your idea to our feature request form? Ideas submitted to this form are passed on to the product development team for their consideration.

    In the meantime you can undo the auto-enumeration by clicking CTRL + Z. 

    Thanks for your request and I apologize for any inconvenience this causes you.

    This dash to dot action for UML class diagrams is very frustrating and distracting.
