Re: [orca-list] Orca not responding to keyboard on Braille display

["John J. Boyer" <john boyer abilitiessoft org>]

Hello,

I am using Debian Bullseye, Mate and the latest Orca. This is puzzling. It sems that Orca handles the advance 
button itself but depends on xbrlapi to handle enter, 
backspace, etc. Things worked until I rebooted yesterday. Something must have changed.

Thanks,
John
