This has been fixed in #988, but when the Rich Text Editor has been integrated, we have this regression. Not sure we can fix in the EXA code. I think it has to be fixed in https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rich-text-editor.

@jonnyandrew WDYT?

Correct, this will need a change in the library - thanks for raising matrix-org/matrix-rich-text-editor#826

This also happens when RTE is set to being off. If it’s due to RTE, why doesn’t this resolve the issue?

This was fixed in matrix-org/matrix-rich-text-editor#826, but we still need to release a new version of the library and integrate it in the app.

This wasn't a problem with the RTE itself, but with the UI component used in the library, which lacked the default flags to allow auto capitalisation.

Seems to be fixed as of the latest nightlies (THANK YOU!!)
