Glitchy issue, try hitting the caps lock a few times till it stops. I
write a little caps lock toggle program to do it. Generally if it will
turn on at random it will also turn off at random. Sometimes a windows
pop-up message causes it. In that case just hitting it off will work.
It doesn't really depend on OS, it's an old legacy interrupt 9 issue
generally left from DOS/BIOS days. I'm pretty sure INT 9 was the old
DOS keyboard interrupt (I can still write in MASM AKA Macro-Assembler).

... My software never has bugs. It just develops random features...
