Just come across this but it is possible that it has been happening for a while. Ok so I don't often log in to a remote computer with my keyboard Caps Lock on (i.e. lit up on my keyboard and producing capitals on my local machine). However I have just discovered that if I do log in with the caps lock on, the remote machine behaves as if the caps lock is off (i.e. produces lower case letters). If I then turn off Caps Lock on my local keyboard it is turned on on the remote machine.
Not a problem as such except that if I do log in with the Caps Lock on my local keyboard turned on and during the session I need to type text on both local and remote machines, the keyboard setting for upper and lower case will be received diffently on each machine. In other words, if I were to leave the Caps Lock on, anything typed on my local PC would be in Upper Case while anything typed on the remote PC would be in lower case.
Obviously this is of no consequence when logging in to the remote machine with Caps Lock turned off. In that scenario there is no discrepancy between the keyboard input on the local or remote machines. I have determined though that if the Caps Lock is already turned on on the remote device it is automatically turned off when the remote login is established. My question therefore is this. Is it a feature of LMI that, irrespective of the Caps Lock setting on the local device, it always defaults to Caps Lock off on the remote device? Also if the remote device already has caps lock on, is it by design that this is turned off at login?
