In Ubuntu the backtick key is a modifier key for extended characters: backtick+e = è etc. Two backticks give a backtick by itself.

It is quite likely the Java application isn't interpreting the double-character keyboard input as a whole but taking each character separately.

You may find it necessary to create a custom keyboard map (or modify the Swedish one). I'm not sure how you'd go about that in Ubuntu.

Hrm, maybe I should file a bug with RubyMine. –  Josh Glover Apr 18 '11 at 12:21
