I'm having similar problems with uControl 1.4.4 on a G4
iBook (OS X 10.3.5). I have once or twice managed to change
to the login screen using Fast User Switching, then suspend
the computer with the effect that after unsuspending even
tapping Caps Lock doesn't unstick the virtual Ctrl key. Then
I can't type my user-id or password. I wonder if there is
any way out of this except depressing Power long enough for
the hard shutdown to happen?

I've been able to completely duplicate this, and was in fact
about to file a bug for it.

Here's what is happening:

If the laptop is suspended with the caps-lock on, when it
resumes it thinks you are holding down the control key. You
need to press the key again to get out of the mode.

The solution is that uControl should automatically reset the
CapsLock key on resume from suspend.

This problem is still present in version 1.4.4 on a 15" 1.5 GHz
powerbook.

I have the caps lock key mapped to ctrl and if the machine goes to sleep
with the caps lock light on it wakes up behaving as if the ctrl key is
being
held down. Pressing and releasing the caps lock key brings it back to
normal behavior.

Does ucontrold have code to handle this situation and it isn't functioning

correctly or is it not handled at all? Is there anything I can try or do
to
help squash this bug?

BTW, thanks for the great program!

I also noticed Caps Lock/Ctrl being sticky, but sleeping is not required
to
reproduce it. The log dump below documents the following sequence:
press Power, release Power, choose "Cancel" with mouse, mark log,
press Caps Lock (Ctrl), release Caps Lock, press Power (now the mouse
cursor changes as if Ctrl were held down), release Power, attempt to
mark log (mouse click pops up a context menu, as if Ctrl were held
down), press Caps Lock (Ctrl), release Caps Lock. Then everything is
back to normal, as far as I can tell.

Believe me, I'd really like to fix this little bugger as well. I might be

able to now that we have a daemon that picks up the sleep/unsleep
events. uControl only exists for me for the caps lock to control magic,
and it unfortunately still has that odious, though thoroughly livable,
bug.

I don't know. I don't have to open the prefs pane to regain
functionality,
just unlock the caps lock key. It does sound like your comment to
880776, though. I haven't noticed login problems, but I rarely lock,
reboot, or log in to my mac (12" Powerbook G4, 1GHz, 512 MB ram).

Is this the same as issue 880776?

FWIW: based on conversations in bug 840295, it occurred to me that this
problem might be fixed in uControl 1.4.3beta. So, I tried it out. It's
still
broke.
