I've tried that by going to Settings -> Project Settings and switching to SWEREF99 there (immediate coordinate transformation box is ticked).
But nothing happens at all which is surprising. When I look at the paper map I can see that indeed the SWEREF99 coordinates are square, but the WGS84 are stretched vertically. Am I doing something wrong with the reprojection?
