Public bug reported: I use a Nexoc Osiris S621 notebook on Ubuntu Intrepid. It seems that there is a strange but annoying "feature": When hitting Caps-Lock key on the built in keyboard (external keyboard is okay), all keys not only switched to their uppercase state (or whatever that name is), but also to their Fn-equivalent (as if the Fn key is being held)
i.e. typing "fghjkl" on the keyboard results in "FGH123". Turning of Caps-Lock again results in lowercases, but the Fn state is still on: "fgh123". Only additionaly holding the Fn-Key will allow writing "jkl" (so the Fn-Key acts some kind of reverse) This must be some kind of X or Gnome thing, when switching to and back from Console (i.e. with Ctrl-Alt-F2), the keyboard state is normal. Also, when using an external USB keyboard, keys on the USB behave normal (however, the USB keyboard doesn't have a Fn key) ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- hitting Caps-Lock key results in Fn-Lock https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/350883 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
