Research direction
Reproduce the issue in fman on Linux with the Swedish keyboard layout shown in the report, using Elementary OS Freya or an equivalent Ubuntu 14.04 environment. Check each dialog that accepts keyboard input and trace how dead-key characters are handled. Done means ^ and ~ can be entered in every dialog where ordinary text input is supported.
