Librewolf Caps Lock Treated Like Shift - Keyboard Shortcuts Not Working (lemmy.ml)

I'm new here and am not sure if this is the right place to post a question about Librewolf. I found this area from the Librewolf site when trying to find a support forum of sorts. If this is not the place then I apologize and will know for in future.

I've found that my custom shortcuts on a website I built, no longer work as expected. For some reason, when I type "s" with the caps lock key on, it is treated as if I had typed "shift" + "s" to give the capital "S". This would normally be fine, but my site has shift + s treated as my "save" shortcut in Javascript, because ctrl + s triggers the browsers save page functionality. My custom shortcut works in traditional Firefox, but not Librewolf. Is there a reason that the caps-lock key converts the key events to as if we were holding down shift? Is there a way to disable this?

Huh. Cool.

Not a dev; honestly I’d have thought the OS would have more control over that than LW.

TIL. Good luck 👍
