One of the weirder bugs I've experienced: you know how you're always being told to make sure caps lock is off when you enter your password? My Mac is currently enabling caps-lock at login and you can't disable it. It took a long time to deduce this was the problem but surprisingly I was able to log in after going round a few loops and realising an obvious trick...

A known problem with a venerable history: https://iboysoft.com/tips/macbook-stuck-on-caps-lock.html

@dpiponi I always remap caps lock to be another control key, just to go easy on my little finger. Side benefit, I guess I get to dodge mysterious and annoying bugs.

@4raylee @dpiponi I annoys me greatly that I still have to poke around in the guts of my OS in 2024 to get rid of Caps Lock. I don't want it, don't need it, haven't needed it since maybe the 80ies (and I'm not even sure then). And I don't change computers often enough that I can just do "whatever I did last time" - every new computer I have to learn a whole new set of nonsense to disable Caps Lock. 🙄
If some company made a decent keyboard that is exactly identical to all other keyboards but simply doesn't have a Caps Lock key, I think that would be a viable product...
