Sometimes when I start typing with Caps Lock, the second letter comes out big too, like this: HEllo

Asked by Sean Moroz

Hi!
I am still new to Ubuntu, so I don't know everything about it yet.
Sometimes when I start typing with Caps Lock, the second letter comes out big too, like this: HEllo.
Is there a way to fix this? If so, how?

Someone please help!
Best Regards,
Sean

Does it do that with other operating systems?
Maybe it is just a sticky key?

No. On my other operating system, which is Windows 7, it does not do that.
If it is a sticky key, how can I turn it off and/or make it normal?

Ok and what is the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks.

You don't need to become root, hence the 'sudo' part of the command

Is that the output? I think so, since that's what the terminal gave me.
