Upgrade to 2.3.4 causes all instances of 'i' to capitalize

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Connectbot and connect to any server/localhost
2. Type any string where an 'i' is followed by other characters or a space.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected Output:  (lowercase) 'i'.
Instead:  (uppercase) 'I'

What version of the product are you using (you can see this by using Menu
1.7.1 (v1.7.1. 2010.10.08)

-> About in the Host List)?

What type of system are you trying to connect to?
This appears to be agnostic to the host system.  It has happened on 
Ubuntu/Debian systems, as well as the localhost.

If you are able to connect, what is the output of "echo $TERM", "uname -a",
and any other relevant information on the host?

'echo $TERM' displays nothing on localhost, and 'xterm' on the Ubuntu/Debian 
systems in question.

'uname -a' displays 'linux localhost 2.6.35.10-g225de41 ...' on localhost and 
'Linux callisto 2.6.38-8-generic-pae' on the Ubuntu server machine.

Please provide any additional information below.
None

If this is the problem that I think it is, it's a bug with Swype that was fixed 
in the latest Swype Beta release. Please ignore me if you aren't actually using 
Swype, of course :p

Thanks for your response. I use a new Samsung Galaxy S2 (D710) phone with Swype 
v 3.8.86.28894.28931.2423.SPH_D710

I'm trying to type in the word ping, and right when I type the letter n it 
turns the i of ping capital. That nullifies the command, since the linux 
machine I've logged into has case sensitivity on commands.

I don't believe that this version of Swype is beta. There's also no apparent 
firmware upgrade for my device. Any other ideas of why the i gets auto 
capitalized?

Thank you! Keith

Further to my previous comment, this problem was fixed in the latest beta 
version of Swype - v3.25. From their changelog 
(http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?4354-Swype-v3.25-featuring-Gestures-Dicti
onary-Management-amp-Swype-Connect): "Fixed a bug in English where 'i' would 
incorrectly auto-capitalize in certain apps (inputType=TYPE_NULL, e.g. terminal 
emulators)".

Unfortunately, this only applies to people who have installed Swype themselves 
(as part of the Swype Beta programme). Some phone manufacturers or networks 
pre-install Swype, and I believe that in those cases you can't upgrade to later 
versions.

Okay. Thanks again for responding. That was for version 2.3.4 and I have 
version 3.8.86... I would've thought that issue is no longer a problem so far 
from that report. I've turned off auto-capitalization and disabled Swype as 
much as I could and it still happens. 

Oh well...

But you're right. I see it does the same capitalization with another telnet 
app. Weird.

Sorry, last email message:

I found a workaround is to change my Swype language to Spanish. Then I can type 
I in capital.
