- Node.js version: v.16.16
- Browser: Chromium

**Code Snippet**

```javascript
import { expect, test } from '@playwright/test'

test('Test CapsLock', async ({ page }) => {
await page.goto('https://playwright.dev/')
await page.locator('.DocSearch-Button-Placeholder').click()
await page.keyboard.press('CapsLock')
await page.keyboard.press('KeyA')
await expect(page.locator('.DocSearch-Input')).toHaveValue('A') // actual value is 'a'
})

Research direction

Run the provided Chromium-on-Windows reproduction and confirm that pressing CapsLock followed by KeyA produces “a” instead of “A”. Trace the keyboard handling reached by page.keyboard.press, then verify that the same scenario produces the expected uppercase value without regressing other keyboard behavior.
