** Description changed:

  well, i did a clean install of maverick and selected neo2 (a german
  keyoard-layout with large  similarities to DVORAK) as default layout.
  
  naturally i needed to change the layout when my first guests arrived and
  they needed to look something up. now i have the keyboard application
  indicator which allows me to switch between layouts. the problem is:
  neo2 layout is not fully functional now (even if i remove regular german
  layout). with neo2, one can reach third level by pressing caps lock.
  unfortunately the caps lock stays a capslock now, no matter what. so i
  cannot use the neo2 layout anymore, because i cannot reach level 3.
  
  that's a terrible bug: if i would have removed regular german layout
  before recognizing that it ruined my other layout i would not have been
  able to type my root/user password anymore.
+ 
+ WORKAROUND:  Ok, now i figured out what maybe causing this: If i add
+ another layout in the keyboard options, the tool automatically sets a
+ shortcut for switching between those layouts, namely SHIFT + CAPS LOCK.
+ So just go to Keyboard > Layouts > Options > Keys to change Layout, and
+ then uncheck the concerning shortcut.
