osascript changes case in OSX10.12.1

Question

osascript is behaving weird after upgrading to 10.12.1. Prior to this version, the command works as below:

In 10.12, the output is in whatever case the input is:

deppfx : ~ $ osascript -e "tell application \"System Events\" to keystroke \"Hello\""
deppfx : ~ $ Hello

In 10.12.1, the output is forced to uppercase:

deppfx : ~ $ osascript -e "tell application \"System Events\" to keystroke \"Hello\""
deppfx : ~ $ HELLO

Does anyone know what's going on here?

Answer 1

Caps-lock is probably on. This inputs the text as if you typed it yourself, so it's affected by holding shift down, or having caps-lock on.
