If the field used to label the layer contains values all capitalized, then the option "Capitalize first letter" is not working (nothing changes). While the expression title("field") works correctly.

From the "Capitalize" function definition (Python):

In Python, the capitalize() method converts the first character of a string to capital (uppercase) letter. If the string has its first character as capital, then it returns the original string.

I'd close this as invalid or file a feature request to implement a "titleize" function.

OK get it. Still it seems a little bit confusing for users: for capitalize first letter I expect only the first letter to be capitalized, no matter what the input is.

For what it's worth, if you search deep in the tracker this same issue has been discussed at least 3 or 4 times previously (also on the mailing list)

Indeed. Then imho such a situation shows that there's an issue (people don't seem to understand this label). Or a missing option (aka "titleize" ?) that would help them put it into perspective.

Can you file a feature request for "titleize"?
