I believe Montag was highlighted because that's the current day.

In an English locale (as the rest of the UI suggests), "Montag" isn't a day at all, let alone the current day.

The incorrect text is a UI bug, certainly, but the underlying issue suggested in multiple places is, how can you distinguish between a negative action and an accent in apps where both of those are identified by the same colour?

UI language and locale can be two different things. It has been the same for me for years.
