Hi all,

I completely removed my copy of BRLTTY, cloned the repository in a fresh 
new local directory, rebuilt it and it seems to e Ok this time.

Many thanks for your help. Have a nice day. ChD

We were interpreting the scroll keys correctly but the device itself was sending them incorrectly. The initial firmware for other langauges was okay, though, as it was released a bit later, i.e. after they discovered the problem. I guess, since you have a .fr email address, that your device has the corrected firmware.

That's why it's probably wrong for you. Please try building the actua 6.9.1 release (git checkout brltty-6.9.1) and let us know if it works correctly.
