Description of problem: While the xchat channel-tab gui appears to offer per-channel settings for 'beep on message', xchat does not seem to respect the flag properly. It is desirable to let some channels beep and others not, but alas... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xchat-2.8.8-2.fc13.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. make a new channel tab with /join #foobar on some server 2. unselect its 'beep on messages' option 3. join same channel from another client 4. observe beeps anyway It may be necessary to have some other tab with the beep-on-message flag on to see this phenomenon.
Sorry, on further experimentation, I found that my session-wide 'beep on message' flag in the preferences was also set, overriding the per-channel flags. It might be nice to grey out the per-channel menu item, if it's being overridden, but that's a small thing.
