Re: Bug with str_capital in 6.1.0-beta

My workaround actually didn't work. I should have tested it first.

It not only affects the input variable but also copies of the input
variable. You can see what I mean in the script below.

Do you have a suggestion other than the obvious one of reverting back to 6.0?
