Hi,
I confirm I encountered this issue, which has been solved in Ubuntu 24.10.
It seemed from a very light investigation that in 24.04, there was a
brltty connected to brlapi that was running and that this process seemed
to take control of everything while in console, making the display "stuck".
As I said earlier, and I know that's not the solution, upgrading to
24.10 solved the issue for me.

Any updates?
I'm also seeing this weirdness switching from X to a text console on a
fresh install of Ubuntu 24.04.1,
and I've seen this on two (very different) machines.
The symptom I'm seeing is that Braille just doesn't update when
switching to the text console:
won't show typing, won't seem to process navigation commands, and
keeps showing whatever it last displayed in X.
It won't answer to the status key binding (which it usually doesn't
for me while in X).
But if I disconnect and reconnect the display, then it does show the
text console as I would expect.
Also if I systemctl restart brltty-udev, then Braille will come up
showing the text console.
If I switch to another text console, it tracks that fine, also if I
switch back into X,
but not out to text again.
Ah I got speech working, and interestingly, speech does respond when
switching out of X into a text console, speaking the login prompt.
So some part of BRLTTY does realize we've switched consoles, just
somehow the Braille output (and Braille display key controls) stay
stuck in X?
For some reason I am not seeing this on the machine I upgraded from
22.04 (fortunately for me).
Switching back and forth between X and text is something I do dozens
of times a day, so this is proving problematic.
