Bug 3683

Summary: Caps lock key changes caps lock state while text input is disabled

While text input is disabled, pressing caps lock still toggles the caps lock state. (using 2.0.5 on linux/X11 - I did not check other platforms)

IMO this is a bug, since caps lock is a text input modifier. Also, this prohibits the use of caps lock as a regular key while text input is off.

I don't know that we can actually fix this, as it's handled by the X server. Ryan, do you know?
