Adobe After Effects (Beta 24.5.0 (Build 46)): Caps Lock is (not) engaged

1. Adobe After Effects (Beta 24.5.0 (Build 46))
2. MacOS, Sonoma 14.4.1

 

BASIC STEPS TO REPRODUCE CHALLENGE
I continue to get an error about the Cap Locks needing to be disabled, even though it is. To replicate: 

1) Shuttle to a different location in the timeline. 
- Error: Refersh Disabled (Release Caps Lock to refresh view)

 

Or

 

1) Select the Roto Brush Tool 
2) Click on the layer to apply the Roto Brush Tool
- Error: After Effects (Beta) warning: Roto Brush strokes cannot be added while Caps Lock is engaged. 

 

To temporarily resolve both errors, type any key on the keyboard. Afterward, replicating Step 1 in either scenario above creates the same error. 

 

To resolve, I quit and reopened After Effects, same issue. I tried using After Effects 2024 and the same issue occurred. I replaced keyboards, same error occurred. 

 

EXPECTED RESULTS
When Cap Locks is off, these error messages should not happen.

I have the same problem. I'm on a MacBook pro 16g, running Sonoma 14.4.1. I was using the latest AE 2024 beta version but after reading decided to give CC cleaner a try, and did a clean AE install.  No change--and as many people have pointed out, it's impossible to work this way. Years ago this kind of thing was a memory issue, but I've got 11g dedicated to AE and I don't think this is the problem now. Can anybody help?
