I use cap locks as push to talk button for TeamSpeak and other voice com programs. Since latest patch caps lock will now preform the same function as the Esc button does when in the friend list or mech customization, sending you back to the previous page. Not 100% reproducible with friend trying on his own game. sorry if this is not proper place to post this.

I also have this issue, it is backing my out of windows... i have noticed it will do it after holding the caplock button for greater then .5 seconds, if you just tap it, it will highlight the back button. the people i play with on teamspeak dont use the caplock as push to talk and dont seem to have this issue.

Here is a workaround for you in the meantime:

Install AutoHotkey
Paste this code into a new text file called ptt.ahk
Double click the ptt.ahk
Remap PTT to T in TeamSpeak (or remap it to another key and change the script).

#IfWinActive ahk_class CryENGINE
CapsLock::t
#IfWinActive


Note: The wrapping of the code in IfWinActive makes it only work when MWO is the active application. You can omit the first and last lines if you wish.

Also make sure you haven't spilled fluids on your keyboard.

My last laptop did some weird things around those keys, as the connections shorted into each other.

I'm seeing the same issue. I use Caps-Lock as my TS push-to-talk key and it's acting like an ESC keypress at times.
