I have defined a view where I use the Node: Title Argument type with %1 rest of title in the Title text box. This works fine, except that the title is returned as: "ARGUMENT rest of title"
I don't think this would affect anything, but that view is being presented through panels

Does anyone know why that argument text is uppercase and how I can change it?

In views/module/views_node.inc, I changed Line 538 from:
return check_plain(strtoupper($query));
To:
return check_plain($query);

and it works fine.

Thanks for the followup; I was frustrated by this issue when I upgraded to views 1.6 and CCK 1.7 for compatibility with some views-related modules. It doesn't make sense to me to force uppercase on the argument text; if someone wants all uppercase they can do it in theming.

Unfortunately, making this change in views_node.inc did not resolve the issue for me. The text (e.g.) "Eau Claire" is now "EAU-CLAIRE." I did empty all my cache tables, but removing all the strtoupper() in views_handler_arg_nodetype() did not get rid of the problem.

I checked in modules/cck/content_views.inc (since my nodes are CCK content types) and tracked the issue to an identical snippet in cck/text.module:

    case 'link':
      return l(strtoupper($query->letter), "$arg/$query->letter");

    case 'title':
      return check_plain(strtoupper($query));

Stripping the strtoupper() there gets rid of the uppercase for me. However, this still does not resolve the issue that I am getting the key (eau-claire) rather than the value ("Eau Claire").

It looks like this may be related to a "temporary" fix having to do with case sensitivity:
http://drupal.org/node/196374
http://drupal.org/node/268904

I will try installing the dev versions of both CCK and Views and see if that makes a difference.

Well, there is no difference between the release version of CCK 1.7 and the most recent dev version for this issue, nor between Views 1.6 and the latest dev release.

I posted an issue for this at http://drupal.org/node/271264 to see if there's a backend bug or change that might be related.

None of the above ideas worked for me so I edited my page.tpl.php and modified the print $title to:
print ucwords(strtolower($title)).

This will work for many titles; however, it won't use the correct capitalization for (e.g.) "NASA" or "Prairie du Chien." I did something similar using the Views argument handling code.

I think one might be able to customize the argument handling code to compare the argument and the actual value from the node.
