Since the original JDK-4275046 issue is about newly entered text is made part of cell or not, it does not matter if it's in lowercase/uppercase and if such CAPS_LOCK or Shift key problem happens again, this test will not be affected.

There was one fix done way back regarding almost same tests being failed due to CAPS_LOCK not turned off by test
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/commit/51837b8a13d24279b8f9a1e36dee7320901a9cc9
but I could not find any other test doing something similar with setLockingState...
One was in java/awt/Toolkit/Headless/HeadlessToolkit.java but it is marked headless so would not affect headful test so I was thinking it's more of VK_SHIFT issue
