Bug Description

Caps lock is not properly detected, for example if you log in with a password that is in upper case, when entering the desktop without deactivating caps lock, when trying to open an encrypted drive whose password is in upper case even though the indicator shows that Caps lock is active and detects it as if it were not.

I should clarify that this bug occurs only when the xwayland session is used, in the x11 (xorg) session the caps lock works correctly
