Problem with engraving lyrics

Hi all..

I´m having trouble with an issue regarding lyrics.

I can easily input words but the "-" mark when a word stretches over more than one note can´t be input anymore. As in " Hell-o dark-ness my old friend. I´ve tried uninstalling and re installing, checked my keyboard settings but nothing seems to work, and as you can see, the button for the "-" is right where I´m used to it being.

Anybody got any ideas on how to fix this?

P.S. My keyboard is Icelandic if that makes any difference.
best, Þórður
