Can't change input method using CapsLock outside of chrome

Reported by shubham2...@gmail.com, Jul 18 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3071.115 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1.  System Preferences --> Keyboard --> Input Sources Tab
2. There should be at least two languages.If only one present add one.
3. Check the "Use the Caps Lock Key to switch to and from U.S" option.
4. Install the play music official extension in google chrome.
5. Make sure that play music is using "MediaNextKey" shortcut of Mac keyboard
6. While chrome is in focus pressing the caps lock key will change the input method of the keyboard(Can be observed by also checking "Show Input menu in menu bar" in step 2).
7. Focus any other application and press the caps lock key. It will not change the input method of keyboard

What is the expected behavior?
Input method should change all the time using CapsLock. 

What went wrong?
Input method changes only when chrome is in focus on pressing the CapsLock.

Did this work before? N/A
