multiple keyboard related issues

[Mihai Hanor]

1. Using Linux and Windows as guests, the Scroll Lock LED indicator doesn't turn on or off, to reflect the key state, if I press Scroll Lock inside the guest. The same indicator doesn't reflect the guest key state after pressing it in the host, then returning to the guest (Linux, console mode).
   

2. Having enabled Toggle Keys (accessibility feature) in Windows 8.1/7, after pressing Caps Lock to enable it, the guest OS emits a "key disabled" sound every time. Then, after enabling it, if I press a character key, it emits the correct "key enabled" sound. With Windows as host, when pressing NumLock, the guest consistently emits the wrong sound on enabling/disabling the key, and a proper "key enabled" sound after pressing a character key. With Ubuntu as host, when pressing NumLock, the guest usually doesn't emit the sound (except maybe on enable) unless I press a character key.

3. The Caps Lock LED indicator doesn't reflect the key state in the guest, after pressing the Caps Lock in the host, then returning to the guest (Linux console mode only, not under the X server). Also, after starting and booting the guest, if I switch right away to the text mode console, without pressing CapsLock in the guest, then I return to the host, press the CapsLock in the host to enable it, then return again to the console of the guest, when pressing a letter key, it prints a capital letter, but the next ones are lower case.
   

I don't know if any of the above issues are regressions. Maybe they are corner cases left from fixing bug #12758 I can reproduce the above issues with VirtualBox 4.3.19-96825 and 4.3.18-96516.

Host OS: Windows 8.1 x64, Ubuntu 14.04 x64
Guests: Windows XP x86, Windows 8.1 x64, Windows 7 x64, Debian 7 x86, Lubuntu live 14.04.1 x86

Could you please attach VBox.log?
