New submission from James:
Referring to Python 2.7 running on Windows (7/8):
At the interactive interpreter, if either 1) Caps are Locked OR 2) <Shift> is
held while an alpha-character is selected, the character is output and
displayed as uppercase, as one would expect. However, in Python 2.7, when Caps
are Locked AND <Shift> is held while an alpha-character is selected, the output
is still uppercase, when it should be lowercase.
This behavior seems to be limited to Python 2(.7), and only when Python is run
interactively using the Windows console. When Python 2.7 is started through
Cygwin using mintty on Windows 7/8, the behavior is not reproducible. The same
goes for IDLE, as well as when running python interactively on Ubuntu. The
behavior is reproducible using IPython when run in the standard Windows
console, but is not reproducible when Python is run using the IPython QtConsole.
To summarize:
