After a while, Emacs starts behaving all the time as if I have typed C-SPC. That is, whenever I move point, the text between point and the previous location of point is highlighted.Because Caps Lock is very similar to holding down Shift, and holding down Shift while moving point is a CUA gesture for extending the region.CapsLock is not supposed to affect cursor and arrow keys, only characters you insert.Right, but Hugh did not indicate he is using arrow keys specifically. With the famous Emacs supposedly-more-ergonomic-than-arrows point movement command bindings C-n, C-p, C-b, C-f, C-a, C-e and others of this kind, I can reproduce the problem as described, on an uncustomized GTK+ Emacs on X/GNU/Linux.As I mentioned earlier in this thread, as I recall I first noticed this in December (if this occur much earlier I was not paying attention) and my set up isGNU Emacs 24.4.1 (i586-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.14.5) of 2014-12-19 on brahms, modified by Debianversion jessie
