Formula Issue for Name Concat

I have a pretty basic formula on a form that is taking the first name and the last name and putting it together like : ${GuestLecturerLastName},  ${GuestLecturerFirstName}. Generally, it works just fine. When the last name has a dash it does not work, though. The dash seems to be throwing it off. I've tried grouping it like (${GuestLecturerLastName},  ${GuestLecturerFirstName}) but that doesn't work either. 

Is there something else I could be trying to get this to work with names with dashes? 

Thank you for any suggestions!

  Hello Ashley,

  Sorry for the delayed response, have you tried using quotation marks around them?

  If we are unable to find a solution, I will help you raise a ticket so we could investigate it further as a potential bug.

  Thanks,

  Hello Ashley,

  For the formula control, the dash indicates subtraction or removal. Therefore, we have to include the addition operator for the proper concatenation.

  Resolution: See the image below how to achieve the correct result per the ticket:
