I have just had an article rejected because of misuse of capitalization. The default capitalization on the title changed my version of:
'The Reluctant Projector – the fears of those who experience involuntary astral projection and how to help them' into 'The Reluctant Projector – the Fears of Those Who Experience Involuntary Astral Projection and How to Help Them.- which does seem to me to be over-capitalized However, I left it as it was the default suggestion. Alternatively, maybe the editors want the terms voluntary astral projection and involuntary astral projection capitalized. I just don't know. I have asked for an explanation but understand that they may not get back to me so any ideas would be welcomed. I want to resubmit as soon as possibly but don't want to have it sent back another time as I have read on the forum that repeated rejections end up with an account being suspended. Thanks

Re: Capitalization question
Hmm, yes it does seem like too much capitalization, but since it is a title, I would consider all of that correct, EXCEPT I would have unclicked the automatic capitalization box and capitalized "The" as well. I had a title a while ago that was similar and the capitalizer wanted "the" to begin with a lower case but I changed it myself and had no trouble.
But I honestly don't know if that was their only issue. Strange that they didn't say!

Re: Capitalization question
I would have thought if they were referring to the title they would have said so. I suppose you have checked through the article for any stray capitals.
Re: Capitalization question
Like Jak said, maybe its refers to one small mistake within the article. I got a two sentence rejection about misuse of capitols (in about a 200 word rejection "essay" only to find one errant capitalized first word of a sentence and no other errant capitals or forgotten capitals. When I resubmitted (after fixing very minor other issues) it was accepted right away without comment.
