yesterday, with the example given by Alex I could reproduce it on every try. Today I tried to construct another example, but it worked only randomly -- sometimes pressing the caret (or apostrophe or backtick) key followed by one or more presses of the space bar produced the correct character immediately, sometimes it was postponed until the next non-space key was pressed. When it was a letter that could be combined with the respective accent (like "a" or "e") this was done, in other cases like "m" or "," the caret and the letter were inserted separately. I had a look at the source code in gui_w48.c and gui_w32.c, but I could not determine where the dead letter key and the following key are combined into one character and wether this actually has to be done by the application or if it's done by Windows.
