Yes, as additional information is proven out, it is usually useful to
fix both the title and description.  This can help prevent other users
from getting confused and think they have the same issue as you, when
they do not.  (Or conversely can help bug workers notice if your bug is
a dupe to a known issue.)

While caps lock flashing is an almost certain indication of a kernel
problem, not flashing does not mean it is not a kernel problem.  Many
non-X kernel crashes/lockups/etc. don't show themselves with flashing
caps lock.  Thus my curiosity that you moved it back to X.

For kernel bugs, usually you look in dmesg, /var/log/syslog, and other
log files to locate an error message.

Fwiw, the word "randomly" in a bug report usually is a good sign that
the issue has not been adequately analyzed.  When filing a good bug
report you should always strive to boil the problem down such that you
do not need to use that word, much as you wouldn't tell your doctor,
"Doctor, I feel pains randomly through my body..."  ;-)
