Is this a known problem?
When caps lock is on, all pop up menus refuse to accept selections. When I click on "No" a second green "Red on Green "No" appears next to the first, and neither accept the click, leaving me stuck.
I am running 3.8-6665 and vm

It sounds as if something somewhere thinks you're holding "shift", since that's what I have to do to replicate this behavior. Good luck in tracking it down!

Ah, right I think the "caps-lock" = "holding down shift" behaviour is a known bug in the unix vm - it is on Mantis. But I do wonder what is this behaviour for?
thanks for the prompt reply

Keith,
This sounds like a problem I reported about 2 years ago:
http://bugs.impara.de/view.php?id=565
It is now closed, I believe at the time of closing I tried and it seemed the problem has gone away with the 3.9 VM:
====================== VM Version: mzimmermann@home-server:~/dev/smalltalk/squeak/3.9/MathMorphs> squeak -version 3.9-7 #5 Mon Apr 24 20:07:28 PDT 2006 gcc 3.3.5 Squeak3.9alpha of 4 July 2005 [latest update: #7021] Linux vps.piumarta.com 2.4.20-021stab028.18.777-enterprise #1 SMP Wed Sep 14 19:34:46 MSD 2005 i686 GNU/Linux default plugin location: /usr/local/lib/squeak/3.9-7/*.so ======================
I just came after >3 weeks and have little time, but I plan to double-check as it seems you have the same problem.

Keith,
I just verified - you are right, this is still hapenning as reported in
http://bugs.impara.de/view.php?id=565
Basically, the problem is that Caps-Lock is modifying mouse events, while it should only modify key-pressed for key=A-Z. It seems minor but quite confusion when user hit it first time, I did not know what is hapenning, and I think I reinstalled fresh image and the VM before I found CapsLock on :(
(I have to clarify my above original report was not quite clear and correct, the problem is currently only with Caps-Lock modifying mouse events.)
In the above bug, there is a link to a fix Ned Konz provided in Novemer 1994. I am not sure if it was ever applied.
Please let me know if you'd like to report it, or I can do that. I do not have priviledges to re-open the bug, we can creat a new one.
Happens on Linux and (I understand) Mas VM, Windows is OK
