Research direction

The payload names no source files, tests or entry points; the only artifact is a diagnostic zip attached by the reporter, which lives outside the repository. Start by checking whether the issue reproduces on a current build, then inspect the zip's logs for when the keyboard's shift state is set and not cleared. Done means the first letter is the only capital after a fresh app open, with a regression test or a reproduction that a reviewer can confirm.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bug

Describe the bug
Sometimes (not rarely, but not often), when i start typing in some app, letters stay capital/uppercase after 1st letter

To Reproduce
Not reproducable, it's noticed randomly, but i think it mostly happenes in (new) apps we open first time after some time pass from last usage of that app. Closing app from recent apps and opening it doesn't help reproducing this bug

Expected behavior
Letters should become small after 1st letter was typed, and eventually it should not conflict with earlier fixes related to fast typing (if it even conflicts or has relation with it at all, maybe it doesn't)

App version & Flavor

beta-430-1 , standard release

Device Info

  • Model: Samsung Galaxy S23
  • OS version: Android 17

Additional

I made patch zip file which has log for diagnostic, but didn't have time to build apk with it, and won't be able to do that or test it in next 12 hours, so in case you want to use it to find cause of this issue, sharing zip here:
