bug#4276: 23.1.50; Repeated C-S-u (translated to C-u) acts like a single C-u

[Deniz Dogan]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

When I have Caps Lock turned on and hit C-u, emacs will recognize this
as C-S-u and then translate it to C-u. However, if I hit C-u C-u C-u
with Caps Lock turned on, it will result in just a single C-u.

Reproduction of this issue:
1. Turn Caps Lock on (or just hold shift throughout the rest of these
   instructions)
2. C-u C-u C-u
3. Wait for the key sequence to show up in the echo area
4. Hit e.g. "i"
5. Notice how only four characters were inserted.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/home/deniz/usr/share/emacs/23.1.50/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

Hello,

I tried to reproduce this against Emacs 25.1.50.1, and could not.  Could
you check whether the problem persists on your end?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

I don't use Emacs (or this email address) any more, so I'm afraid I can't
check.
