  • Caps locks when posting

    From ogg@21:2/147 to All on Sat Oct 1 12:38:00 2022
    Just noticed that every now and then, while posting, I have to turn the caps lock key on to stop from writing everything in caps. It appears randomly and is most annoying. Has anyone else run into this? If so, any hints?

    Haven't seen this, very interesting. What is your telnet client?

    Well; you replied Netrunner was yer terminal, so I guess I just answered my thought - I DO have to turn on CAPS, to write in lowercase, when on C= bbSes... but thats b/c they assume I'm on C= hardware.

    Glitchy issue, try hitting the caps lock a few times till it stops. I
    write a little caps lock toggle program to do it. Generally if it will
    turn on at random it will also turn off at random. Sometimes a windows
    pop-up message causes it. In that case just hitting it off will work.
    It doesn't really depend on OS, it's an old legacy interrupt 9 issue
    generally left from DOS/BIOS days. I'm pretty sure INT 9 was the old
    DOS keyboard interrupt (I can still write in MASM AKA Macro-Assembler).

    ... My software never has bugs. It just develops random features...
