Description:
I'm using virtualbox 4.1.0-4 and after the latest update(I think the one invloving the kernel update, kernel: 3.0-ARCH) VB acts different on caps lock.
So when caps lock is OFF, virtual box types capital letters and when caps lock is ON, VB types small letters.

I must say that this behaviour is present on a virtual windows 7 machine.

Additional info:
virtualbox 4.1.0-4

Uname -r: 3.0-ARCH

Steps to reproduce:
Have virtual box installed, update arch, reboot, try to type something in a virtual machine.
This task depends upon

I'm sorry for kidnapping your time, it appears that my keyboard played with me and the SHIFT key got stuck(while I was blaming the caps lock key).
I managed to unstuck the shift key, and the problem is gone, it appears that only virtualbox saw my shift key as being stuck, because arch did just fine.
