Keith,

I just verified - you are right, this is still hapenning as reported in 

http://bugs.impara.de/view.php?id=565

Basically, the problem is that Caps-Lock is modifying mouse events, while it 
should only modify key-pressed for key=A-Z. It seems minor but quite 
confusion when user hit it first time, I did not know what is hapenning, and 
I think I reinstalled fresh image and the VM before I found CapsLock on :(

(I have to clarify my above original report was not quite clear and correct, 
the problem is currently only with Caps-Lock modifying mouse events.)

In the above bug, there is a link to a fix Ned Konz provided in Novemer 1994. 
I am not sure if it was ever applied.

Please let me know if you'd like to report it, or I can do that. I do not have 
priviledges to re-open the bug, we can creat a new one.

Happens on Linux and (I understand) Mas VM, Windows is OK

Milan
