[BRLTTY] FOcus 80, should it work

[Jean-Philippe MENGUAL]

Hi,

I go on testing. Of course the company says that is may be a cable 
problem, so I tested again. Today the behaviour is still somewhat 
different and under control. At brltty startup, the pan right key seems 
to enalble/disable something, according to brltty tunes. dot4 and dot1 
run cursor-line-up and cursor-line-down. dot1234 runs prefs. Then, a 
tune happens, at some random moment, just like if I had pressed a 
rouutine key on a place the cursor cannot go (5 quick tunes, among which 
3 toward grave and 2 acute). ANd so, the braille display works normally. 
I am unable to say what feature runs then stops and turns to me.

How could I generate a full log somewhere showing all what happens and 
is running in brltty between starting and some point? If I want to 
confirm a physical problem, I need proofs, and on Jaws, I am not 
completely sure I can reproduce. I reproduce on Android but with brltty.

Thanks for your help. I will take the machine with me and g on testing 
in various situations, to see if the problem happens again during a 
session. But any help about tracking the initial (and maybe future) 
behaviour would be nice.

Regards
