      Hi everyone,

      In some of the emulators, for example, Caprice32 (lr-caprice32) or the BBC Micro in MAME/MESS (lr-mame2016) there seems to be a problem with the emulator capturing the Caps Lock key being pressed. I can press the key over and over and only some of the time will the emulator detect the press and change the caps lock status.

      Otherwise, the caps lock works perfectly out in the desktop/console and also works fine in some emulators like Amiberry and VICE.

      That the key acts strangely in some but fine in others as well as desktop has left me scratching my head.

      Ideas anyone? :)

      I have had a good search for this issue but nothing has come up so I'm hoping an expert can shed light on this issue. Please note: This is RetroPie 4.6 installed on Ubuntu-MATE 20.04 aarch64 on a Pi 4B (8GB)

      (I have tried different input drivers in RetroArch and doesn't make any difference)

      TYVM in advance!
