Wolfgang, Since I am using a standard American English keyboard, I can't really advise you on your keyboard, but I wanted to ask if you had tried to change the sweeping on the word that appears before the selected word?

In other words; if you have the line:

"I don't want to cry anymore"

and you are trying to change the word "cry"

did you try to use Ctrl< on the word "to"?

Using Crtl< on the word "to" will make the sweeping of "to" end a little sooner. Then you can use < on the word "cry" to make it begin a little sooner.

To simplify it even a little more, here's a little guide:

FOR EACH WORD
Use < to Begin sweeping a word a little Sooner
Use > to Begin sweeping a word a little Later
Use Crtl < to make the sweeping End a little Sooner
Use Crtl > to make the sweeping End a little Later

If the beginning of a word won't start any sooner when you use <, then you may have to go to the word before it and use Crtl < to make the previous word end sooner. Then you can move the beginning of the word you really want to change.

Does this makes sense to you? If this doesn't work, then perhaps the changes made to the program did create a problem for the German keyboard.
