Grüβe Märt,

This is related to post [Formatting Code (Ctrl+Shif+F)](https://forums.toadworld.com/t/formatting-code-ctrl-shif-f/57991) .  
What version of component QP5.dll do you see in the Toad folder? Version 5.402 (and later) should fix the problem - at least for the single spaced characters such as ä, Ü etc.

I'd be happy to get to know your findings,

Thanks,  
Andre
