Re: [orca-list] Caps Lock Issue

[Jacob Schmude <j schmude gmail com>]

Hi
I've experienced this as well, although I'm not sure exactly what  
triggers it for me. Sometimes it happens right after going to a text  
console, other times it doesn't. It can also happen, again randomly,  
when switching keyboard layout (typing layout, not Orca layout). I'd  
have provided a debug except I can't get it to happen reliably.

   The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a  
thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot  
possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to  
get at or repair.
