Actual behavior

As it seems, you could also just type the (small) 'ü' and the 'ß' or copy it from editor and get the same margins. It looks like those letters are composed from two chars: moving the cursor through the line shows this. When I edit such line (backspace) or press escape (in powershell), some chars remain at the (former) right side of the text.

For capital 'Ü', ä, Ä, ö, Ö the behaviour appears to be correct.
