Not a bug but a feature.  See this code:

        // FIXME: This is a REALLY REALLY BAD QUICK HACK to make the
        // Finnish special letters work.  The problem?  We don't get a
        // KEY_PRESSED for them.  Damn Java!

        int id = e.getID();
        if(id == e.KEY_TYPED) {
            int c = e.getKeyChar();
            if (c == 'å' || c == 'Å' || c == 'ä' || c == 'Ä'
                || c == 'ö' || c == 'Ö') {
                id = e.KEY_PRESSED;
            }
        }

(in ZZViewComponent)

I think it's better to get one too much than none (you can always
backspace off the extra one).

However, should this be made a run-time choice (a command-line switch
-umlautahck or something)?
