 Wait, wait, this is not about the `ß` key. As the bug title says it is
 about the keypress event. If you look again at the screenshot you'll see
 that there is no `ß` in the keypress row. But rather, there are `charCode`
 and `which` values that should be `191` instead of `63` as I am pressing
 the `?` key. I basically tested with the same key as back in #15646. If
 you look at comment:13:ticket:15646 I got the same results for that event.
 It bothers me that I don't know anymore why I said "It looks better now"
 in comment:23:ticket:15646 because testing a bunch of older versions shows
 the same behavior. Thus, it seems we never fixed that part of my review
 feedback for some reason.

 Regarding the `ß` result in the screenshot. Even though it is shown that
 the `?` key is pressed the `ß` shows up if one releases the `Shift` key a
 bit earlier than the `?` key. So, this part is indeed no regression rather
 a testing error. I got just confused that the `ß` showed up while the test
 said I pressed the `?` key.
