iOS TouchScreenKeyboard shift key stuck on when KeyboardType set to HiddenInput

[schneidb]

Just noticed this in the 3.6.1 release notes and decided to check it out...
NEW: Added support for TouchScreenKeyboard.hideInput (input caret, selection, etc on mobiles)

On iOS, however, if I have InputType set to Standard; KeyboardType set to HiddenInput and Validation set to None, I get nothing but capitalized characters and the virtual shift key shows itself as pressed.

As a test, I changed Validation to Username.  That did convert all characters into their lowercase, but the shift key continued to show as on.

Is this a bug or is there a way to change this programmatically?

On which device? It works as expected on my android tablet.

All iOS devices that I've tested.  This includes...
iPad2 with iOS 6
iPad 2 with iOS 7
iPad Mini Retina with iOS 7
iPhone 5 with iOS 7
iPhone 4s with iOS 7

Sounds like some issue with Unity + hidden keyboard. Try opening it in a stand-alone script via TouchScreenKeyboard.Open:

1. using UnityEngine;
2.  
3. public class Test : MonoBehaviour
4. {
5.     void Start()
6.     {
7.         TouchScreenKeyboard.hideInput = true;
8.         TouchScreenKeyboard.Open("", TouchScreenKeyboardType.Default, false, false, false, false, "Type here");
9.     }
10. }

It is due to how NGUI captures input from the keyboard and how autocapitalization works on iOS. For a workaround, see my post here http://www.tasharen.com/forum/index.php?topic=9960.msg47765#msg47765
