Bug Description

If I use Czech or Slovak keyboard, it should be possible after pressing Caps lock to get upper case letters, i.e. if I for instance press "3" I should get "Š".
In Ubuntu 23.10. this works only with Chromium, but not with Firefox(I have Firefox 119.0, but it doesn't work at 118.0,too. So the version of Firefox doesn't matter). If I press Caps Lock, I only get lower case letter "š".
Curiously, this error does not occour under Ubuntu 23.04.
I already asked in a Firefox forum, bur they think, this should'nt be a Firefox problem, but a problem in Ubuntu, I can't say what library or package could be affected.It seems that the programming of Czech and Slovak keyboard contains a mistake.

I've just seen that this isn't a problem only in Firefox, but for instance also in a terminal or in Libre Office, where I can't get upper case diacritic letters like ŠČŘÝŤ after activation of Caps lock.
Why this works under Ubuntu 23.10. only in Chromium, is a riddle, and I don't know what could be the reason.
