Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg
Problem: Entering [Caps Lock] and then any other character causes the second key to be repeated continually, until the [Caps Lock] key is hit again. I discovered this problem after learning to use emacs, and subsequently switching the [Caps Lock] and [Ctrl] keys. This error occurs in any text editor, the command line, or any form field that accepts input. To reproduce: It doesn't occur in every instance, but can reliably be reproduced within 20 - 25 tests. To test, either open a terminal or any editor, and then depress the [Caps Lock] key immediately followed by a character. I used the 's' and 'x' keys, as these are the two that commonly reproduce the error using emacs with the [Caps Lock] and [Ctrl] keys swapped. Once the key starts repeating, you can halt it by hitting the [Caps Lock] key again. Research: I restarted the machine and booted to a root console, without X. I could not reproduce the error in an environment without X. I then started X by running xinit, and was able to reproduce the error. This is how I generally isolated it to X. I do not know how to isolate it further.
