Any effects do not change the content, and the content (plain text), without any effects, is what gets pasted to the controls like address boxes. You likely wouldn't be surprised to see that e.g. green color of the font is not transferred to the address bar. The "uppercase" font *effect* is extremely useful exactly to *not* change the case of the text, but only *show it* uppercased - this way, it can be shown uppercase in e.g. title, but sentence-cased in headers or table of content.

If you need to actually change the case, use menu Format->Text->UPPERCASE (which is a *different* function, actually replacing characters).

Closing NOTABUG.
