FWIW, that's not my experience Loki; I use the Change Case tool quite a bit and I find it works as it should. There must be something going on with the specific document that is inhibiting correct functioning.

AH! I see what is happening. You seem to be using 'Sentence case'

which will produce your results.

Try 'Title Case' instead.

It's not a solution cause the second text will have a upper case as well

True.

The 'Sentence case' option is probably performing as the developers specified so I wouldn't think it so much a bug or a fault. But I cannot think of why they would design it that way over the way you would like it to work which seems logical to me.

Hello, PHK

I would not be so sure about that.. Sentence case should be working as Loki said, to my knowledge. This seems like a bug, though perhaps one which was overlooked for quite some time.
I have reported it to the team for review, and hopefully they also consider it a bug worthy of a fix.

Kind regards,

Good. I'd rather you classify it as a 'bug' than simple users like me. More likely to get fixed.

I think so.

I said above that :

I noticed that it's not really correct.

The same issue is reproducible if there is some text before the number

Using PDFXCE Sentence case
