Character generation: can only use capital letters

Hello,

 

I don't know what happened (or what mod could've caused this if a mod is responsible), but I'm unable to type a name for my character unless it's in capital letters now.

 

Let's say I type "Aragorn", it appears as "ARAGORN" in the character name window.

 

Caps Lock was off all the time. It doesn't look like the Windows 10 keyboard options are messing things up either, because as soon as I quit Skyrim and open another application, the letters return to normal.

 

What is strange is that if I don't mess with the Race Menu sliders, I can type the name of my character normally. But as soon as I change a few things, I'm stuck with capitals letters after I pressed the R button. I also noticed that I can't exit the MCM mod menus anymore before or after character creation sometimes. The ESC key stops to work for some reason and I have to force quit the game or I stay stuck in the MCM menu forever. If I open the console when this happens, all the commands I type end up in capitals.

 

It first happened after I somehow accidentally prompted the Steam Overlay to appear in-game during character creation (though I didn't hit SHIFT+TAB, only the TAB key--I have turned off the Steam Overlay since then), so it could be a Steam issue, but I'm asking here anyway, in case it could be a mod-related bug.

(As you can see from entries number 13 and 14, I'm using Race Menu for character creation.)

If some of you know what's causing this issue, please let me know: having my character's name written in capitals is no game breaker, but I'd like to get rid of this bug if possible.

I checked the sticky keys in Windows 10 and deactivated them, just to be safe. I opened the Race Menu (using a saved game) and was able to rename my character properly (i.e., lower and upper case letters now work normally). Though the problem returned when I tried to make a new character, I can correct the name by saving, quitting and relaunching the game. I then rename my character and the letters work as expected.

 

Weird...
