Hmm, it was there when I wrote the first GSG in May-July 2000...

Which query? and do you mean you are selecting UPPER(PARTNO) in the query, or you have set the CHARCASE property to UPPER? if the latter (in either the query that's doing the lookup or in the lookup query itself), this is only a display attribute. If you want the data to be in upper case, you will need to fetch it in upper case.

I can't imagine how setting Caps lock would affect what gets written from one dataset to another. Looks as if I'm not visualising very well here.

Yes, set FieldsDisplayWidth of the list columns so that their total width is equal to the FieldsDisplayWidth of the column you want it to match up with. If the grid is resizeable, you'll need to do this in code.
