Downloaded and installed macOS Sierra (10.12) on 10/1/16.
Since then, my Caps Lock key is behaving weirdly different (I'm an OS X user since Mavericks).
Note: This only seems to affect users with more than one language as their input source.
Explanation: Caps Lock simply does not work when a (update: Non-Latin language) language other than English (in my case, Hebrew, an RTL language) is set as the input language. When that's the case and Caps Lock is pressed, it simply blinks for a second and then turns off again, but then and turns off. Even when I am able to turn it on, it doesn't have the same effect (all keys behave as if Caps Lock is off)
Why is this bad: Just a small example — take a look at the bottom-right key, which is ?
(or /
when Caps Lock is on). When Hebrew is selected, it's actually a period (.
) and that is normal. Prior to Sierra, I could press the Shift
key to get a ?
and hold Caps Lock to get /
. Right now I can't use /
when I'm typing in a language other than English because Caps Lock doesn't work.
Note that Caps Lock works just as expected when English is set as the input source.
