The component having the issue is libgtk-3-0 (3.10.8-0ubuntu1.6). It concerns a feature which was initially added in version 2.16: showing an alert icon when using the caps lock.
Enclosed are 3 screenshots of an application using libgtk3. The field is a password field. - caps_lock_key_pressed_not_released shows the state when I presse the caps lock key but I don't release it (and I mean the caps lock, not the shift key!) - caps_lock_key_pressed_and_released shows the state after releasing the caps lock key (of course you don't keep it pressed). You see that the warning logo disappear. It must stay instead - first_letter_in_captital shows that de warning logo comes back and stays (as long as you don't press the caps lock a second time) but only after you've pressed the first key (letter, etc.) This behaviour happens also in the middle of a password. Not just for the first character.

Once the key released it disappears. You then must press another key (a letter for example) to see the warning logo again. Then it stays. Also if you don't release the caps lock key it stays displayed. Why can't it be persistent after pressing/releasing the caps lock key the first time? Is this the "correct" behaviour? Or is my system configuration guilty? If it is the expected behaviour I must say this can lead to incorrect interpretation for non-IT users, the caps lock warning should be displayed right after the caps lock key is pressed/released.
