Package: grub-emu
Version: 2.02+dfsg1-20
Severity: critical
Tags: a11y
Justification: breaks the whole system
Dear Maintainer,
I use Debian with Orca and BRLTTY and executed grub-emu.
When ran on mate-terminal, it shows an interface where BRLTTY displays "Screen
not in text mode" and Orca doesn't speak at all.
The only solution to stop it is to killall -9 grub-emu from another terminal.
The most critical situation is when I run grub-emu from a TTY session. In this
case, BRLTTY displays again "Screen not in text mode" and my system locked, I
was not able to close grub-emu nor to use another TTY to kill it.
The only solution I found to reboot correctly was use SSH.

grub-emu (2.06-3~deb11u6, bullseye) broken
grub-emu (2.06-13+deb12u1, bookworm) broken
grub-emu (2.12-8, trixie/testing) working
I'm going to assume that this shows the issue is fixed and close the bug
with this version set, such that it still shows up for the broken releases.
