Can't activate Input Gestures Dialog with Focus40 Blue Braille Display

[DGartmann]

Steps to reproduce:

A list of the steps you take to demonstrate the problem.

1. Go to nVDA by pressing NVDAKey+n and then choose Preferences
2. Activate the Input Gestures dialog from the Settings submenu.
3. A sound is heard and no dialog box opens. When you try to perform the same command or try to open another NVDA dialog box the error message "Another NVDA dialog ox is open" is shown and a restart of NVDA is necessary to be able to open a different dialog box.

Expected behavior:

The Input Gestures dialog box should open.

Ugh, this is caused by #7517. Let me look into this later this week.

Do you by any chance have custom gestures for your Focus blue?

[LeonarddeR]

Ah, this is actually not a bug in #7517, but a typo in the freedomscientific driver that has now been cached. Nevertheless, this ValueError should not stop the input gestures dialog from launching. I will create a pr either tomorrow or thursday.

[feerrenrut]

@LeonarddeR Is there a workaround for those experiencing this?

[LeonarddeR]

Yes, the freedomScientific.py from #7716. :) I asked Mick to review, but if you'd like to give it a shot, go ahead.
