Open Settings > General (under Desktop app section)
Look for "Voice shortcut" dropdown that should allow disabling the Caps Lock trigger
Observe that the "Voice shortcut" dropdown is completely missing from the settings interface
Expected result: Voice shortcut dropdown appears in Settings > General (Desktop app section) with options to disable Caps Lock trigger or set custom shortcut
