Title:
  Fails writing with Caps Lock

Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On Ubuntu 16.04:

  When clicking on the following 3 keyboard keys simultaneously: 
  Left-CTRL + Left-ALT + F1
  Then you get to a textual terminal (CLI) where you can type commands.
  But there is a problem when typing English letters with Caps Lock turned on:
  Instead of English capital letters - you see squares, 
  so actually you can't login to your user that way
  if the username/password has Capital letters.

  The only method which allows you to write capital English letters
  is to simultaneously click Left-Shift + 'a letter'. 
  That is the only method that works well.

  Note that the Caps Lock key works well with the graphical terminal (pseudo / 
pts)
  that appears on Ubuntu when hitting simultaneously:
  Left-CTRL + Left-ALT + T

  I assumed the bug report is relevant to "shadow" package because that
  the "/bin/login" binary comes from that package.
  Package version of 'shadow' is: 1:4.2-3.1ubuntu5
