I'm sorry that things are not working correctly for you, it sounds like you 
have some setting that modifies the behaviour of the caps lock key. These 
settings are located in the system settings->Keyboard->Layouts->Options, (The 
ones in bold are locally modified).

Other things that you might want to try is to change the keyboard, verify if 
you can reproduce this in other desktop environment and check the logs of your 
machine to see if there are any errors reported related to this.

Unless you can give us a clear reproduction case we can't really do anything 
about this issue.

Happy hacking,
