It is the same vor ö,ä,ü .

Hi carchaias, thanks for reporting this.

Do you really run version 1.18.1?
Any chance to upgrade to 1.18.3 at least, or better 1.19/1.20?

Sorry, no. Due to Bug [[35894]] I'm not able to go further than 1.18.1

I don't think anybody will investigate bug reports for old versions like 1.18.1.
So we'd need help on bug 35894 instead (like mentioning exact Windows version, PHP version, and running basic tests as described there).

I tested again in 1.23 and there are no problems with this any more.
