I think if you delete your personal dictionary it will solve the problem.
Same thing happened to me several month back.

Hello All -
What I would like to see is a quickie way to generate intercaps (or
CamelCase, or whatever one wants to call it): a fourth option that
would first capitalize the selected string (like ctrt+alt, c), then
strip out the spaces between the words. That would be lovely.
