Public bug reported:
When installing from the Edgy Alternate CD in OEM mode, based on an ISO
downloaded yesterday, on the screens asking for a typed input, if you
switch to caps lock, the caps lock will behave as a shift lock.
I am using a UK keyboard, without the international dead keys.
This means that if typing in the hex digits from a WEP key, instead of
A5:D3, you will get A%:D£.
Steps to reproduce:
* Download and burn the current Edgy ISO to a CD ROM
* Boot it, selecting OEM installation.
* Go through the locale and keyboard selection, using either select from list
or by typing a few keys for autodetect.
* On the wireless network screen asking for the ESSID or another screen asking
for user entry, press caps lock.
* Type a digit and a few letters. For example B1:A3:52
Expected:
Letters in caps, and numbers left alone: B1:A3:52
Actual:
Letters in caps, number keys behave as if shift was pressed: B!:A£:%"
As you may gather from the reference to two different ways to select the
keyboard map, this is 100% reproducable.
