Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
I use Caps Lock to switch keyboard layouts from one language to another.
(It was recommended by the text mode installer of 7.04 Feisty Fawn, and
it turned out to be very convenient indeed). The actual Caps Lock effect
is achieved by pressing Shift+Caps Lock once.
When my screen is locked by screen-saver, the password dialog appears.
When I press Caps Lock to switch to the non-English layout, the password
dialog shows a warning that I have the Caps Lock key on. That is
incorrect, because pressing Caps Lock has switched the keyboard layout,
but the real Caps Lock mode has remained lowercase.
Conversely, when I press Shift+Caps Lock to enter the real Caps Lock
mode while English layout is chosen, the warning is not shown. That is
also incorrect. Because the Caps Lock mode has been activated, pressing
letter keys yields uppercase characters.
Expected behavior
The password dialog should show the Caps Lock warning based on the
actual default case of characters being entered, not based on the
presses of the Caps Lock key.
