I'm typing subtitles into Final Cut Pro X and for every new text box FCPX has started to autocapitalise the first word!
I've never had this, and can't find any advice on here or on Google searches to switch it off.
Anyone have any tips?

What title exactly?
This seems to be particular to some of the titles.
You can go to System Preferences->Keyboard->Text and uncheck these two boxes. This will affect not just FCP X, of course.
As Tom said: there are title templates which are designed to use "All Caps". There is an option parameter in the Text Inspector, Basic section called All Caps (followed by All Caps Size). If this is turned on, you can simply toggle it off from here (no need for Motion). If you want to create All Caps, you can use the All Caps Size to adjust the letter size of what would have been lowercase letters.
Ahhh, that's similar to what I've found recently - that double clicking does that. I'm having to single click and then start editing in the text box in the Inspector. I thought I was doing something wrong. Either it's a bug or a deliberate change in FCPX. Whatever it is, it's mildly irrigating.
Thank you Luis, that has helped.
I've switched it off, as I'd rather have control over my own capitals.
But it's strange that it's only just started to do that in FCPX.
This was using Custom Title, which I've used for ages, but it's only just started capitalising the first letter.
That's odd. I'm not seeing that in Custom. Though I am seeing other title behavior that's off.
Ahh, that's weird. What other title behaviour are you seeing that's off? Maybe FCPX is having a few little issues getting back to work after the festive break?
I was using Custom Title, which has always worked fine. Then just started to autocapitalise the first letter of the first word I typed, so I'd have to go back and type it in small caps. It wasn't capitalising all the letters.
I've now switched off autocapitalise in the keyboard settings as Luis suggested - it'll apply to all apps now, but that's fine by me.
Triple clicking a title used to select the title in the viewer and move the playhead to the center of the title effect. You could then immediately start typing. I's now doing something else. When you do the triple click if you look closely it's doing a deselect in th middle, so when you type weird things happen, basically you're using th keyboard shortcuts so the tool might change or playback start.
Some titles in FCP do this. I believe the title called Subtitle does this. Probably a clever person could take it into Motion and stop this behavior.
How do I turn off autocapitalise in Final Cut Pro, FCPX?
