Bug Description

Keyboard > Shortcuts Typing > Alternative Characters Key set to Caps Lock disables Caps Lock without enabling alternative characters, tried this without good results in 15.10, but I found out about this problem on askubuntu with user of 14.04 encountered this problem first.

After setting Alternative Characters Key to Caps Lock, Caps Lock does not help to write alternative characters and it is disabled from functioning normally.

unity-control-center:
  Installed: 15.04.0+15.10.20150923-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 15.04.0+15.10.20150923-0ubuntu1

        500 http://sk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ wily/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Expected to be able to write alternative characters after pressing Caps Lock.
Instead Caps Lock is not responsive.
