See
"No break space and alignment" from a few months ago.
That HORIZONTAL BAR/"quotation dash" character is missing on a lot of fonts... probably not safe to use in ebooks.

In what, Office 365? (What month?)
LibreOffice is still plagued with it, but they've been working on some autocorrect bugs lately. Maybe it might get squashed.
After any Smarten Punctuation, I always just do a search for things like:
”— (RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTE + EM DASH)
—“ (EM DASH + LEFT DOUBLE QUOTE)
