Last night, the gf was typing and she calls me in and says "my caps lock is stuck on"

So I sit down. Caps lock button was working fine (keyboard light was responding). Plus... it seemed like an odd font situation. Basically every letter typed was CAPITAL but when caps lock was on or shift was held, the letter typed got bigger. Font was times new roman and i tried highlighting text and changing it to a totally different font and it did not fix the problem.

It was as if normal text became capital font size 10 (but when highlighted word still said it was size 12) and capital text was a regular capital letter but in size 12.

Closed the document (it had just been started) and made a new one, problem went away. Anyone else ever seen this?

You can enable / disable this by going to Format / Font and toggling the "Small Caps" option.
