[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Starting with emacs -Q, enter the following in a buffer:

ALLCAPS lowercase Titlecase

Move point to the beginning of the first word, and do a
query-replace-regexp with the following target:

  \(\sw+\)

and the following replacement:

  \,(capitalize \1)

Expected result:

Allcaps Lowercase Titlecase

What I get instead:

ALLCAPS Lowercase Titlecase

Calling capitalize-word interactively works as expected.

Using query-replace-regexp with upcase instead of capitalize works as
expected, producing:
ALLCAPS LOWERCASE TITLECASE

Using query-replace-regexp with downcase instead of capitalize is also
broken, producing no visible change:

ALLCAPS lowercase Titlecase

Since `case-replace' is mentioned in the docstring of `query-replace-regexp',
I'm closing this report.
