 == Background
 !WordPress ticket [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/48345 48345]
 (Add Caps lock message to login screen) was introduced in milestone 6.9,
 additionally see PR [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/8726 8726] which causes a "Caps lock is on" warning message
 and large icon to be displayed on the !BuddyPress registration page when
 first loaded, see Screenshot - `Request-Membership-Git-WP-
 artifact-01-14-2026_04_03_PM.png`.

 [[span(style=color: #00FF00, NOTE: This is only an issue for the BP
 Nouveau template pack. )]]
 ----
 In short, the reason for the inadvertent display is that the file that
 contains the `CSS` rule, e.g., `‎wp-admin/css/forms.css` hasn't been
 enqueued. The fix is to enqueue the aforementioned `CSS` file such that
 the "Caps lock is on" warning message and icon will be displayed as
 intended for the password input field, see Screenshots - `Request-
 Membership-Git-WP-patched-01-15-2026_10_46_AM.png` and `Request-
 Membership-Git-WP-patched-caps-lock-01-15-2026_10_46_AM.png`.

 I've included two patches, one for trunk and the other for the 14.0
 branch.
