*updated description*

Problem description: 
When insert symbols (like U+0301, U+0300, U+0340, U+0341) which apply to the previous symbol you get the result showed in "screenshot of corruptes result"

Steps to reproduce:
1. Type a word
2. Use insertion of a special symbol as usual and select the type of symbol described earlier
3. You get a corrupted letter

Current behavior:
Corrupted letters

Expected behavior:
Normal insertion


However there are some ways to workaround this. Both of them use the same way - you put special symbol into clipboard and then paste is as "plain text"
This can be done by either copying already inserted symbols or by using default windows dialogue. Te result is shown on "screenshot of total results"

This has already been reported in bug 53312.

Workarounds:
(1) Use a glyph, which has the diacritic mark already integrated.
(2) Do not write the character to which you will apply the diacritic mark with the keyboard, but select it together with the diacritic mark in the Special Character dialog, so that it gets combined already there.
(3) Use a keyboard layout, which allows direct input of those characters.
