Do you see this with standard fronts or is this a custom font?

Paul, was the text typed into a text box or is it an inserted text file? I can’t duplicate your switch to all caps. ---

It’s very random Dave, and not too frequent. It _seemed_ to start happening since the latest update. All my text is directly typed in Layout. ---

Very odd. Hopefully the folks can figure it out. ---

What about uploading a LO file where this is happening to see if it does on other computers? As you know, I am on a Mac so it may be different for me. ---

That’s interesting. I see it on my PC in your file. I created a new text box in your file and don’t get the same result, though. ---

Paul, For some unidentified reason, the text ‘The homeowner has obligations under this act.’ in your layout file has the **All Caps** flag set. In Micorsoft Word the equivalent would be to check the All Caps check box in the font window. ![all caps (Small)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/b/5/b51a31cd733ee26f2bf037a876b0ef23f0d298ff.jpeg) Obviously Layout isn’t handling this situation correctly. ---
