[Bug 1376903] Re: Caps lock delay

 

I'm guessing that this bug is connected with Xorg but I'm not sure.
FOrgot to mention, I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with all the latest updates installed.

** Package changed: ubuntu => xorg-lts-transitional (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Caps lock delay

Status in “xserver-xorg-input-keyboard” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  I'm having a problem with Ubuntu, to be precise I have problem with its CAPS LOCK DELAY.
  I have a habit to use caps lock when I need a capital letter in my sentence, but problem is that I changing Caps lock in Ubuntu is slow, so I end up with sentence like this:

   - THis is a test. CAn you see how the first two letters are capital.
  THis happens only on UBuntu, not on my WIndows!

  Instead of holding shift like a normal person to capitalize my works,
  I hit Caps Lock, then hit the letter, then hit Caps Lock again. I know
  this is a strange habit, but I tried to change it to use Shift but I
  just can't. I want to contiunue using Caps lock, but the delay on
  Ubuntu is causing to have two capital letters in one word, and that is
  a problem, specially if you are typing very fast (like I). In 5 out of
  10 cases I enter my password wrong beacuse of this delay.

  I'm guessing this may have somthing with X org or something.
  IS there a fix?

  If not, this should be reported as a BUG!
