That effect is just being (incorrectly) undone by a different system: The automatic layout translation that is part of the RDP support is automatically pressing Shift for those uppercase letters, expecting that this is needed to produce the desired character because Shift is not already held down. This then has the opposite of the intended effect due to Caps Lock. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-518 - Mike
