Initial capital letter in "type to tweet" replies lost
When I reply to a tweet using "type to tweet", if I try to capitalize the first letter, that initial capital comes out as a lower case letter.
This only seems to happen with replies or hashcard list posts... straight-up type-to-tweets from the Timeline retain the initial capital.

Thank you for the post. Looks like we overlooked this one on the Hashcard. On the type to reply though is by design as we didn't want to have a capital first letter when you start after a @username.
We'll review it once again and definitely fix the one on the Hashcard. Thanks again for reporting this :)

Well -- if the user doesn't want a capital letter, they won't type shift. I'm not talking about an "auto-cap" but rather a forced cap - I type Shift+letter and get unshifted letter. Does that make sense?

That makes sense. But I just cross checked this, if you press Shift + Letter you get a Capital, try that slowly, like hold the shift and press a key, does it work with you? It should.

I always use Press-shift, release, press letter, release. I don't hold Shift (which isn't necessary, since the shift is sticky until the next keypress, similar to the 'gray' key).
As you said, holding Shift does work... but shouldn't be necessary. :-)

Looks like webOS doesn't keep the sticky state of the Shift Key when changing Scenes/Screens...or passing a key from a screen to another...I'll check if this is fixable...

Ah, right, so the reason it works in the Timeline is that you're auto-capping regardless. Sorry - now I understand (duh).
