Description

I have tried this with a shapefile as well as a PostGIS layer. I have a layer with a field which has text in all Caps. For example the text is 'ARUNACHAL PRADESH'
When use the the 'Capitalize first letter' in Labels>>Text>>TypeCase, the label which is generated is in all caps. We should get 'Arunchal Pradesh', but the output is 'ARUNACHAL PRADESH'. (Do note that the 'All Lowercase' option works as expected)

This bug not happen when the input field is in all small case, or in mixed case.

You can reproduce this with the following GeoJSON:

{
    "type" : "FeatureCollection",

    "features" : [{
            "type" : "Feature",
            "id" : 0,
            "properties" : {
                "name" : "FOO BAR",
                "m_name" : "Foo bAr",
                "s_name" : "foo bar" 
            },
            "geometry" : {
                "type" : "Point",
                "coordinates" : [20, 50]
            }
        }
    ]
};

Also note that when the input is "Foo bAr", the output with 'Capitalize first letter' is "Foo BAr" and not "Foo Bar" as expected.
