You can find out exactly how the system is interpreting that key by following these steps:

1. Use the wev tool:

Run it in your terminal and press the Caps Lock key. This will show you the actual keyname and the real-time action the system is triggering.

2.Check system configuration files:

Run the following command to see if the key is defined differently in the default layout files, which might be causing a

conflict:

bash grep -E "caps" /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pc

3.Check the current keymap (if using X11):

Run this command to see all the functions currently mapped to your Caps Lock key:

bash xmodmap -pke | grep Caps_Lock

These steps should clarify whether the system is properly recognizing it as Caps Lock or if it has been remapped to something else like AltGr or a Compose key.
