Bug#1054214: gnome: caps-lock for upper case accented letters does not work anymore

Package: gnome
Version: 1:44+1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

in the Italian keyboard, we have some keys that only display lowercase
letters. As
an example, the key on the right of the "P" key has four symbols: è é { [.

In order to have the "è" character, I just press the key; in order to have
the "é" I press shift+key; in order to have "[" I press altgr+key; in order
to have "{" I press altgr+shift+key.

For the uppercase letter "È" I used to press the capslock+key. In order to
have the uppercase "É" I used to press the capslock+shift+key.

I just updated from debian 12 stable (bookworm) to testing (trixie) and now I
cannot type any more these keys in UPPERCASE: even using the capslock, the
displayed letter is lowercase.

On the Linux console, i.e., without the gnome graphical desktop running, the
behaviour is unchanged, so everything work as before.

Bye,
Giuseppe
