Steps to Reproduce
panelize anything on MacOS 26.1
I think the root cause must be different. Your system probably uses a font with ligatures for -- and merges them into —.
Can you really panelize your design from CLI?
actually you are correct - I remember having problems copy-pasting and adding one extra - when working from command-line.
Penalisation from command-line was successful (that's why I found the error message was mis-leading me a lot in beginning).
Note: have just pure MacOS installed without any changes in fonts in both OS or KiCad.
Ok, if you can panelize from CLI, can you give precise steps for reproducing your issue? Including the precise commands and source data.
