Re: [orca-list] caps Lock issue

[Zahari Yurukov <zahari yurukov gmail com>]

Hi,
in other hand, I've just tried with Ubuntu 15.10 and Fedora 23 (both
32-bit, from the live image).
Switching the Orca's keyboard layout from the General Settings page tab
to laptop was enough - CapsLock mode is switched every time the CapsLock
key is press, no matter that it's Orca modifier.
No additional input keyboard layout this time - just booted the image
and changed Orca's keyboard layout.

Or maybe it's my laptop's fault? I use Asus U31GS here.
Others who also reported this problem, do you use laptops, too?
May be it doesn't occure on a desktop machine and/or with external
keyboard, but only on a laptop with a build-in one?

Best wishes,
Zahari
