Shift with Caps Lock problem
Brief Description
-----------------
In certain situations, when the Caps Lock key is enabled, the
Shift key does not work properly with the top row (numeric)
keys.
For example, with Caps Lock off, pressing the 5 key alone
gives 5, and pressing the 5 key plus the Shift key gives "%".
With Caps Lock on, pressing the 5 key alone gives 5, but pressing
the 5 key plus the Shift key apparently has no effect.
Specifically:
no Shift, no Caps Lock: 5 key gives 5
Shift, no Caps Lock: 5 key gives %
Shift, Caps Lock 5 key gives <nothing>
no Shift, Caps Lock 5 key gives 5
Other keys work properly:
no Shift, no Caps Lock: A key gives a
Shift, no Caps Lock: A key gives A
Shift, Caps Lock A key gives a
no Shift, Caps Lock A key gives A
Platform
--------
IBM Thinkpad, Windows XP, Cygwin, XFree86 4.3.0.1
X is started on the Thinkpad/XP system in startxwin.bat like this:
start XWin -multiwindow -clipboard
Where it Fails
--------------
The problem occurs with I start a remote xterm or aixterm from an
AIX system (version 5.2), using the display provided by the XFree86 server
running under Cygwin on my Windows XP system. xterm launched from
a Linux system does not have this problem, nor does xterm launched
on the Cygwin/XFree86 system.
A quick Google check turns up some Caps Lock and Shift key problems,
but not this specific one.
