> {quote}
> I have been writing in Libre Office Writer on Guacamole RDP . I clicked CAPS lock and started writing but the text was still in lowercase.
> Guacamole-Server version : 0.9.14
> Guacamole-Client version : 0.9.14
> XRDP Version : 0.9.5
> Remote O.S. : Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 64-bit
> I have not done any modifications in the code.
> If I reconnect the RDP session with CAPS lock on, then it starts printing uppercase but if I again click CAPS lock to set it to lowercase, it still prints the uppercase.
> {quote}
> This is apparently due to the way Guacamole's RDP support handles uppercase letters and Caps Lock:
> * The client side of Guacamole handles Caps Lock correctly, and forwards this key as a key event to the Guacamole server.
> * The RDP support handles the _key_ correctly, sending the corresponding scancode to the RDP server.
> * The RDP support handles the Caps Lock _state_ incorrectly, continuing to send Shift keypresses for uppercase letters despite Caps Lock being active.
> The RDP support needs to be modified such that the behavior of keys within each keyboard layout when Caps Lock is enabled, various modifiers are active/inactive, etc. can be correctly modeled. The keymaps currently only provide for defining behavior based on modifiers.
