I'm not sure if I'm understanding right what you are asking for. Note that you 
can turn off auto-capitalization in the keyboard settings if you don't want 
that feature. And you can hold down shift while typing on a multitouch device 
as an alternative to locking.

Can you describe in more detail how you would expect it to work? This behavior 
should be effectively unchanged ftom the original Gingerbread keyboard, and I 
think earlier versions worked the same.

Np, I am not askin to disable auto-caps, I request that the shift key be
cognizant of when caps is in effect.

Merging into a new bug - I'm thinking about revisiting the issue when I find 
time.
