I have a habit of using the shift key wake the display of my system after i've been away from it for a while, and then typing my password. I started having trouble logging in, as if my fingers weren't typing the right password. It took me a while to figure out what was going on, but i thought maybe that I'd inadvertantly hit 'caps-lock' and that was causing the issue. So I hit it again, and then logged in successfully. However, upon login I found that caps-lock was enabled. So to reproduce: a.) let the screen lock or lock it manually. b.) hit shift key (i hit left shift) c.) type password correctly: watch fail to login d.) note that you can hit caps-lock and then successfully login e.) note that after login, caps lock is set, that you didn't make this all up.
