Description Tory Anderson 2015-12-17 20:23:55 UTC 
Using an external keyboard on my laptop, Configure Desktop -> Hardware -> Input Devices -> Keyboard -> Advanced -> Caps Lock key behavior -> Make Caps Lock an additional CTRL is enabled. The setting is remembered insomuch as it retains the check mark from log-in to log-in, but each log-in it will not, in actuality, be working until I uncheck, check, "Apply". Also needs to be applied again whenever the system has returned to log-in screen due to inactivity. 

Possibly related to bug 353413, which deals with remembering settings and fixing by re-applying.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. plug in external keyboard
2. Check Keyboard -> Advanced -> Caps Lock key behavior -> Make Caps Lock an additional CTRL, apply
3. Log out, log back in

Actual Results:  
Keyboard -> Advanced -> Caps Lock key behavior -> Make Caps Lock an additional CTRL will show as selected, but behavior does not agree. 

Expected Results:  
Capslock should remain an additional ctrl.
