Is this using the above test case? If you could attach a video clip showing the issue, that would be much appreciated.

Ok - let me clarify this just a bit. I thought my iPad was running the 11.2 public beta but it's actually running 11.1.2.

It seems as though this bug does not happen on my iPhone X running 11.2 public beta 5, but it is occurring on my iPad Pro 9.7 in a couple of different scenarios/ways.

When the Smart Cover is connected I get the same result described below, every second letter capitalized.

When the Smart Cover is detached and I'm using the on screen keyboard no capitalization happens whatsoever - IE everything is lowercase.

Here are a couple of videos demonstrating it. 
With Smart Cover - https://cl.ly/1H0h1u1G2E0u
On Screen Keyboard - https://cl.ly/1F3k3O1H2w0Y

Also here is the modified fiddle I used, based on the example below:

I see — I can reproduce this using a hardware keyboard on iPad. I will take a look.

I can't reproduce this on either iPad or iPhone.

Strange that you can't reproduce the second error with the on screen keyboard. Do you think it could be related to me immediately removing the keyboard and trying again?

TBH the physical keyboard bug is the one that really grinds my gears though. Thanks for looking into it!

I can reproduce using both the hardware and software keyboard on iOS 13 and later.
