Re: [orca-list] sticky caps lock with orca

[Chrys <chrys linux-a11y org>]

Howdy,

We see the issue here as well. caps is here togable when you are in an real TTY and keeps the capslock on 
state sometimes when switch back to X. Another case where capalock even starts toggle here on X is after 
suspend/ hypernate.

Currently unsure if it is always reproduceable but sometimes i see this for sure.

Cheers chrys
