Hi Mike:
Regarding the rest button on the BSP (Braille Sense Plus) restoring/not
restory factory-set defaults: I've noticed that if I press the reset
button on the BSP quickly, the current settings in the options section are
retained. However if I press the reset button a bit longer it does
restore the factory-set defaults. I don't know why this happens, but I
would prefer the factory-set defaults not to be restored!

Thank you for the reply.
When this began happening, I checked many settings in the option dialog that I
thought might cause this problem. I didn't find anything unusual. I normally
have the display of control characters turned on, but turning this off didn't
make a difference. I'm also using the original reading mode, and trying
compressed mode didn't change anything.
However, I did uncover an interesting fact. I remembered an old sequence I used
to use on the Braille Sense classic to do a cold reset. This still works on the
Plus. When I did the cold-reset and restored my settings, the problem went
away. So I guess the bottom-line is that if it comes back, do a cold reset.
Perhaps pressing the reset button when a website won't load leaves the browser
in a strange state.
Also, in reading the troubleshooting section in the help facility, I noticed it
says that the system resets to factory settings after pressing the reset
button. As I've had to do this a few time, I know this isn't true--the settings
I had been using haven't changed.

Subject: Re: [GWN] Braille Sente plus: Periodic braille display problem in web
browser
Hello. I went to the acb.org web site and found the page you mentioned
in this post. I do not see the control-l character. Did you change any
of the default settings, and did you have any specific settings you may
not have mentioned here? I am not able to reproduce the problem you
describe with either a Braille Sense Plus or a Voice Sense with Sync
Braille.
Many thanks.

Hello list,
I've been having a problem reading text in the Braille Sense plus web browser
where a $l control character shows at the beginning of the line, and the system
will not scroll forward from that line unless I push a routing button to the
right of the $l.
For example, I'm on the acb.org site and I'm reading the officers and board
members page. I get stuck at this line:
$l Pasadena, CA
If I press a routing button over a character to the right of the $l, the $l (on
the left of the display) goes away and I can scroll a little more until I see
another line beginning with $l. At this point I cannot scroll further until I
again press a routing button to the right of the $l.
If I do chord-g and listen to speech, the system scrolls along as expected.
Also, there are no problems when moving the braille display through links--it
just seems to involve reading text.
Unfortunately I don't know if this is a consistent problem since I'm not using
the browser enough. But I've not seen this behavior in any other application
except the web browser. I've done warm resets, but the problem persists. I
don't know how to do a hard reset on the Braille Sense plus.
