Last BrailleExtender (developing version) for NVDA completely breaks braille output

[Futyn-Maker]

Hello!

I've updated BrailleExtender to 21.10.25:3bad14a and noticed that braille output has been completely broken. My display (Mantis Q40) shows nothing. The log says following:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Have you any ideas what's the problem?

Thanks

Thank you for this report. Due to PR #107 I'm assuming you're using NVDA 2021.1 or earlier, is right? Sorry, I tested with 2021.2 and the latest alpha only. Please test with the new build and let me know if there are any problems. :)

@aaclause Thanks for reply. Still doesn't work with NVDA 2020.4 (I use this because of some addons that are important for me aren't still updated).

If it's impossible to make compatebility with NVDA older than 2021.1, I/m sorry and I'm ready to close this PR. I just thought changes in 2021.1 don't break back compatebility.

Thanks! It should be better now. I had introduced an error on a line...

Many thanks, now works fine!
