OK I’ve figured out how to address the issue after lecture of the [Externalissue: Do not assume endColumn if start column is given](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/externalissue-do-not-assume-endcolumn-if-start-column-is-given/5836)  
Instead of endColumn by +1 I’ve used “final\_start\_column = col\_start - 1 if col\_start == col\_end else col\_start”
