Thanks for your report. I can't reproduce it, though.
Whether the layout is "French (alt., Latin-9 only)" or "Swedish" I can
type the dead_circumflex symbol followed by u, and get รป. For me that
works also with Firefox.
Which physical keys are you using to type dead_circumflex? To access
that symbol on "French (alt., Latin-9 only)" I need to hold
<AltGr>+<Shift> while pressing the key to the very right at the third
row (to the left of the Return key).

Title:
Error in dead key management of latin keyboards
Status in ibus package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Composition events are incorrect in Ubuntu 22.04 for latin keyboard
I opened an issue at Firefox
[here](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1802989) that
gives all the details, but they diagnosed a bug in ubuntu-ibus
To reproduce the issue, you can go
[here](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
US/docs/Web/API/Element/compositionstart_event#result) and type ^+u
with a fr+latin9 keayboard configuration.
Here is the conclusion on the bug report:
Ubuntu-ibus commits dead key sequence with empty string first, then,
sends only commit string without "composing" state. The latter
behavior is a usual case for inputting non-ASCII characters like
Emojis. In this case, browsers need to handle it without composition
for compatibility between browsers. Therefore, we cannot represent the
composed character insertion as a set of composition events. Anyway,
dispatching 2 set of composition events for one dead key sequence may
cause trouble in web apps. Therefore, as expected, the first
composition should update the "preedit string" to the composed string
and commit it simply.
The bug was reproduced with installing Ubuntu 22.04 with English
locale and adding "French (alt., Latin-9 only)" keyboard layout. And
also reproduced with the other Western keyboard layouts which have
dead keys.
