Caps Lock interferes with shift-dragging to extend an event.

I notice that when CAPS LOCK is turned on, shift-dragging the bottom cell to extend an appointment's end-time doesn't work; shift-dragging with CAPS LOCK just moves the event.
Is this a known limitation, or perhaps just a small oversight that can be corrected easily?

Hi Sam,
This is a known limitation with the current build. The script Click in / Drag Event uses the Get ( ActiveModifierKeys ) to determine what action to take. If caps are selected with the shift key, it returns 3 as opposed to 1 of caps aren't on. The script currently considers 1 only the "shift" action.
You could change the script to test for 1 OR 3 for the shift action.
I've also seen a cute trick using the MOD function: Mod ( Get ( ActiveModifierKeys ) ; 2 ) = 1 would indicate that shift is down with Caps on or not.
hth,
Jason
