Bug Description
1) LMDE, XFCE 64-bit
2) To reproduce:
1. Plug in multiple keyboards (I tested with two)
2. Press "Caps Lock" on one keyboard, and the respective light on that keyboard will turn on. Letters typed will now be in all caps.
3. Press "Caps Lock" on the other keyboard. The light on this second keyboard will now turn on. Letters typed will now be in the normal case again.
3) What happens? Well, having "Caps Lock" enabled on both keyboards causes caps lock to no longer be activated!
4) What did I expect to happen? Well, if the caps lock light turns on on one keyboard, the other keyboard light should also be on. In other words, pressing the "Caps Lock" key should not affect each keyboard independently.
5) This problem always happens. In fact, right now, I'm typing while both keyboards have "Caps Lock" enabled. :P

This is a kernel issue, so I am marking the bug submission in Mint invalid.
