Hi again,

the actual problem report is still valid, but there is also good news

This other issue has been resolved and I can happily report that with
the 6.9 release of BRLTTY, Orca as a BrlAPI client will claim the
correct VT in the GNOME 49 environment again. This is great news because
switching to the text console while GNOME 49 is running did not carry
over the Braille display, which remained under the control of Orca.

Thanks a lot,

Elias
