View Full Version : Capslock

At times, the capslock function will enable itself automatically (the caps light will be off on the keyboard). I then press Caps Lock, the light goes on, and I can type in lowercase. Then while typing it will revert to CAPSLOCK again (caps key still on). I then press Caps Lock again and I type in lowercase again.

The occurrence is infrequent. Any ideas where I should start looking?

I've experienced similar problems in the past, but for me, the caps-lock led was just changing state ... it didn't actually change the state of caps lock while typing.

Do you use ibus to change input methods? Try disabling that and see if it makes any difference.

Apparently, today is caplocks day... Maybe your keyboard is celebrating ;)

I'm not sure what's causing it, but if you can reproduce it often enough for it to be annoying I would submit a bug report.

You could also try disabling Accessibility features.

BTW, are you using KDE or Gnome?

The problem is that it happens very infrequently (using KDE).
