Possibly. Remember that by default (release mode), on windows, brltty
deinitializes the driver when the focus is on some non-console window,
after having printed that it's not a console window. It thus means that
brltty won't read keypresses any more. A brlapi client being connected
is not enough for making brltty initialize the driver again to get
keypresses. It's only if the client makes some output that brltty will
consider that it has something useful to show, and thus keep the driver
opened and get keypresses.

Of course, simply switching to non-release mode in the configuration
file will avoid the issue.
