[Bug 1527988] [NEW] Keyboard > Shortcuts Typing > Alternative Characters Key set to Caps Lock disables Caps Lock without enabling alternative characters

 

Public bug reported:

Keyboard > Shortcuts Typing > Alternative Characters Key set to Caps
Lock disables Caps Lock without enabling alternative characters, tried
this without good results in 15.10, but I found out about this problem
on askubuntu with user of 14.04 encountered this problem first.

After setting Alternative Characters Key to Caps Lock, Caps Lock does
not help to write alternative characters and it is disabled from
functioning normally.

unity-control-center:
  Installed: 15.04.0+15.10.20150923-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 15.04.0+15.10.20150923-0ubuntu1

        500 http://sk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ wily/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Expected to be able to write alternative characters after pressing Caps Lock.
Instead Caps Lock is not responsive.
