Apparently, the DE keyboard settings have changed upstream in some cases - it
doesn't have Caps_Lock any more, but Shift_Lock. Stefan had the same issue, but
I cannot reproduce here, I still have Caps_Lock. Check your xorg.conf for your
keyboard layout, and setxkbmap -print, and verify whether you're using a
shift_group option.
Unfortunately, the keyboard subsystem is pretty weird, e.g. Caps_Lock and
Shift_Lock behave completely different - Caps_Lock does nothing, but can be
bound to the Lock modifier, while Shift_Lock works on its own.
So you have two options - reconfigure your keyboard to use Caps_Lock again, or
remove the Shift_Lock behavior.
If you want to get rid of Shift_Lock, you have to use
keysym Shift_Lock =
(i.e. empty assignment).
If you want to be on the save side, remove both, the Lock modifier, and the
Shift_Lock binding.
Closing as INVALID for now, as there is no bug in the X system, but a
configuration change. Why that has happened for you is... interesting.
