    Illustrator converts a hyphen at the start of the line to a bulleted list, unless the 'Automatic Bulleted and Numbered lists while typing' option (enabled by default) is not turned off.

    These converted markers can’t be selected, unless you convert the text back with the dedicated button in the Paragraph menu.


    But be warned though, that sometimes disabling the auto-conversion does not work, and hyphen and other characters still force Illustrator to create a list.

    If it does happen to you — please vote here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/45928900

    It didn't bother me until the previous version, so I wasn't aware of that option. Problem solved.
    Thank you very much.
