Woocommerce: Successful Payment processed as "Pending"

Hi there,
I have a woocommerce store running with the standard woocommerce paypal API. Every now and then - or about every 20th order - I receive orders which are not processed back by Paypal API. The customer is successfully making the payment but the order status remains pending and gets cancelled after a while. Logging shows no errors.
I opened an issue at the german wordpress support forum (apologies, it's written in german: https://de.wordpress.org/support/topic/erfolgreiche-zahlungen-bleiben-ausstehend-storniert/#post-589...) - the answer I received there is, that's a Paypal issue which they work on - they are planning to role out an update within a couple of weeks which might (!) solve the issue.
I'm stil not sure which party is responsible for that issue - which is in my opinion a quite major issue. Is anyone experiencing the same problems or are there any solutions so far?
Thanks to anyone who keep an eye on that topic!
Best regards,
Eduard
