Bug Description

I have mapped my caps-lock to ctrl, from the keyboard options settings. The keyboard layout shows caps-lock as ctrl, but when I press caps-lock, it actually does caps-lock.

1) Start Keyboard Layout
2) Open options
3) Open Ctrl key position
4) Select "Caps Lock as Ctrl"
expect: Caps Lock acts as Ctrl
result: Caps Lock acts as Caps Lock

It works if the option is rechecked in keyboard settings . But after reboot, it's checked but doesn't work.
