What happened?

The ligature for double hyphen is not working in any of my IDE/text editor. I tried reinstalling but the problem keeps occurring again and again. Any ligature other the double hyphen works fine. Here is a gif from my windows terminal.

Thanks! There actually is a ligature there—you can tell because the position of the left-most hyphen shifts a bit to the right when you type the second hyphen. In order for it to become a solid line you have to either enter another -, (so ---) or add another character like > < |.

The reason why it doesn't become a solid line from the get-go is that -- has semantic meaning, so it would be confusing not to be able to see both hyphens in that case.
