I can also confirm this bug when using OpenOffice.org 2.4 on two desktops and a laptop (all UK keyboards if that makes any difference) as reported by Brendan Grieve above. It occurs under both Hardy and Intrepid.

The relevant feature of OpenOffice.org is under 'Tools > AutoCorrect...'. Under the 'Options' tab it is 'Correct accidental use of cAPS LOCK key'.

With this option enabled (as it is by default), I can reproduce the bug as follows:
1. Turn on Caps Lock
2. Type 'tHE' (holding Shift on the first letter).
3. Type a space.

OpenOffice.org corrects the word to 'The' and turns off Caps Lock but the Caps Lock LED on the keyboard remains lit.

Should this bug be filed against 'openoffice.org' or 'xserver-xorg-input-keyboard' instead of 'linux'?
