I clocked in ('org-clock-in') in a headline with a dangling clock. I got the Clock
Resolution popup menu, and pressed an uppercase letter, which according to the popup menu
should leave me clocked out:

   For all these options, using uppercase makes your final state to be CLOCKED OUT.

I know that I clocked /in/, and that it might make sense to end up clocked in, but if that
is the case I think that the popup menu is very misleading and might be improved. In fact,
if that is the case, I believe that there is no difference in the lowercase and uppercase
options at all.

In that case, please let me know how I'm mistaken and I am happy to try to improve the
popup menu text to clarify this.

See the attached org document for detailed instructions:

The reason why I clock in and expect to end up clocked out (albeit with the Clock
Resolution) is perhaps a bit strange. I do this because I sync my Org files between my
computers, and this leaves me with a dangling clock once in a while. Clocking out to fix
this doesn't work ("No active clock"), and the way I fix this is by clocking in, since the
Clock Resolution Command is very helpful in fixing idle minutes. Then, I cancel the
current clock so that I end up clocked-out. However, the wording of the popup menu
suggests that the uppercase letters should do this already.
