Bug Description

If I want to enter the ^^ I have to press the appropriate key 4 times. 2 should be enough, since the ^ can't be above itself (usually you press the ^ key and the letter you want to have under it).

Why do you simply reject such bugs?
This is just NOT the way it works in any other operating system, including other linux distros. While ubuntu should be easy to use it shouldn't behave different in such things. That's not "easy to use" if people expect something which is totally different.
This is the second bug now which was closed with this automated answer, and I still can't understand it.

I understand how it may be frustrating because it is different from other operating systems, but it is working how it was intended to work. It is not a bug, that is why it was rejected. If you want to request a change in the functionality, my first comment gives you a place to start.
