This is still an issue on Ubuntu 18.04 using Xorg. Interestingly, capital letters now work on the login GDM screen.
But on the desktop, it does't work. Touching the virtual shift key still produces lower case letters. Also, when I select the symbols key to bring up the symbols keyboard layout, not all the keys work. The keys below the top row number of number keys actually produce numbers instead of symbols. Some of the virtual symbols keys do nothing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to caribou in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1730211 Title: Unable to type capital letters using onscreen keyboard Status in caribou package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Unable to type capital letters using onscreen keyboard: 1. Launch a program where you can type text (gedit for example). 2. Activate on screen keyboard (by touching the screen, foe example). 3. Notice all the keys on the on screen keyboard display lowercase letters. 4. Begin typing. Lowercase characters are typed into the text area. 5. Tap on the Shift (up arrow at left side of on screen keyboard) key of the on screen keyboard. 6. Notice all the keys on the on screen keyboard now display capital letters. 7. Begin typing. 8. A lowercase character will be typed into the text area. This is not expected behavior. Instead, a capital letter should have been typed. (All the keys on the on screen keyboard revert to lower case. This is expected, since the on screen shift key would need to be pressed again in order to attempt to type another capital character).
