If Openoffice has to change (inverse) the Caps lock to Capitals or lower case then it should let us know by switching on and off the 'Caps Lock' LED respectively. This does not happen and the LED for 'Caps Lock' continues to be on or off as the case may be and thus causes confusion.

As the gentleman above stated it can make life very disruptive. I'm sure there is a way of doing it because MS Word has this feature.
Hope the fix comes soon.
Thanks all.
