Description of problem: On the login screen, GDM no longer shows the CAPS LOCK Warning, when it's on. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Version : 3.22.1 Release : 1.fc25 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. At login 2. Press CAPS LOCK or 1. Lock Screen 2. Press CAPS LOCK Actual results: Nothing happens Expected results: Warning displaying CAPS LOCK is on. Additional info: Could be related to the switch from X to Wayland. Don't understand why people are unable to look at the keyboard leds...
Still there on GDM 3.22.3. And no, I can look at my keyboard. Consider that, among the 2 previous laptops I've had, none of them had caps lock led.
I have a microsoft sculpt ergonomic keyboard. No LEDs :( I've been using the gnome shell extension lockkeys to get some feedback in gnome-shell but that's been broken in wayland too. https://github.com/kazysmaster/gnome-shell-extension-lockkeys/issues/32 They link to a different upstream gnome bug that might be relevant to the GDM issue as well, or not.
It's still happening on F26. Also this seems to be a duplicate of: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1398662
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

Occurring in Fedora 28. This is an accessibility problem; the user I am supporting needs sticky keys and can't hold down the shift key to enter her password. She's continually losing track of whether or not Caps Lock is on (and the keyboard doesn't have an indicator, unhelpfuly). I'm heistant to report this as the same bug as we only just recently upgraded her system to F28; it's possible it is an unrelated issue, but regardless, we need the Caps Lock is on warning back if at all possible. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help diagnose. AfC
