Today, I upgraded Active Braille to 2.7 and BRLTTY to rev 6925M. (I had
a source rpm, and used that one for now.) I have two problems when
running Active Braille on USB:

1. If Active Braille shows the startup message when starting BRLTTY, I
get a message about "Saving configuration!". I can cancel that message
by pressing esc, and activate PC-mode to operate normally with BRLTTY.
However, this seems to be a bug.

2. When exiting BRLTTY, I cannot turn off the Active braille. I do need to
reset it by holding the on/off button for a while.

Thanks and regards,

Lars
