NO

This is a minor issue compared to others things we have been dealing with. I will take another look tho before I release 6.0 and leave it starred in my inbox just to remind me

When I pull up the backlight slider to "increase" the screen brightness, the caps lock light comes on. And when I slide it down, it goes off. As you might imagine with a guest running under Virtual Box, the backlight itself isn't changed (it's under the control of the OS X host). I assume this is connected to a related issue that the caps lock light always turns on when I power up the Bodhi guest virtual machine.

Anyone else noticed anything similar?

There have been some commits relevant to the issue of backlights and cap key in virtual box. They were not specifically addressed at the issue you describe here but wondering if after updating moksha your issue is resolved or still persistent.
