iPad Caps Lock remains enabled despite setting

I want to disable Caps Lock on my iPad. I have tried turning off Enable Caps Lock by going to Settings, General, Keyboard, Enable Caps Lock. Turning off Enable Caps Lock does nothing at all. Caps Lock is still enabled even in the off position. I can’t find anything that actually disables Caps Lock. Help,

Presumably your keyboard looks like this:


The key circled in blue is a caps lock key and will always lock caps, period. The keys circled in red, by contrast, are simply caps keys. What Enable Caps Lock does, if on, is allow you to lock caps by tapping a caps key twice.
