It looks like orca doesn't manage to properly claim only the VT of the
wayland session.

When running inside a terminal, do you have these environment variables
set:

XDG_VTNR 
WAYLAND_DISPLAY
DISPLAY
WINDOWPATH

Please also post the content of

/proc/1234/environ

where you replace 1234 with the pid of orca, so we get to know what
exactly orca has as environment variables.

Samuel
