WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer typed some text with the Caps Lock key turned on by mistake. If the customer uses the Shift key to capitalize a word, the result is as follows:
      tHIS IS A TEST. tHIS IS A TEST. tHIS IS A TEST.
Realizing that the Caps Lock key is on, the customer turns Caps Lock off and then tries to change the text so that it is correct. The customer blocks the text and presses Shift-F3 (Switch), 2 (Lowercase). The result is as follows:
      this is a test. tHis is a test. tHis is a test.
The work around is to block the text again and case convert to uppercase. This converts everything to uppercase letters. Then, block the text again and convert to lowercase letters. This will convert everything to lowercase letters except for the first letters after any punctuation. Is this working correctly? Solutions: The first uppercase letter encountered after the end of sentence punctuation is not converted. This is so that the beginning words of sentences will remain uppercase, but it makes this simple example convert strangely.

This also occurs in WPWin.
