Strange behaviour of block symbols in editor gadget.

Why do some characters (namely these symbols: ▀, █ and ►) look shorter and wider in the new version?

This issue seems to have come up with the new msftedit.dll
Is it a Microsoft issue?

Example fonts: Consolas, Lucida Console
PB versions see screen shot

Yes, we switched from RICHEDIT2.0.dll (which is old and no more supported) to MSFTEDIT.DLL in 5.73 and it makes this happen. It's raw API here, so it looks like a Windows thing.
