[BRLTTY] Next and previous console commands lose position

>Here you are. 

I'm sorry, but I simply can't reproduce your problem. I navigated to positions 
in two consoles away from the cursor and then switched back and forth several 
times via brltty commands while using your preferences file. The braille 
display kept correctly returning to those positions. It didn't move to the 
cursor location at all in either console.

>I've tried to persuade it to default saving prefs changes to off but to no

There should be no need for editing. First, enter the menu. Second, set "Save 
on Exit" to "No". Third, while still in the menu, save the preferences - on the 
BC640 this is done by pressing both right eTouch keys together. This will also 
exit the menu, and the altered "Save on Exit" setting will be saved.

>What's "braille sensitivity?" I haven't come across this in the
>preferences menu.

You only see it in the menu if the device you're using supports the feature. 
Some braille devices are able to tell the driver where your hands are by 
monitoring how much pressure is being applied by your fingers to each of its 
braille cells.

>Perhaps I should send a log too. Is -ldebug enough or do you need the
>change to driver.c?

No log is required for this one.
