From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020724 Description of problem: As I get annoyed pretty quickly by the terminal bell, I edited the "current profile" and noticed the "Terminal Bell" box was not checked. I checked it, thinking that would disable the bell. It did, but now, everytime I hit tab to complete a command, the whole terminal window flashes. Even more annoying than the bell! So I tried deactivating the checkbox, but it stays checked now no matter how hard I try. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-terminal-2.0.0.90-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open gnome terminal 2.Press tab a few times, notice the bell 3.Select Edit/Current Profile 4. Notice "Terminal Bell" is not checked 5. Check it and click on Close. 6. Press tab a few times. Notice the whole window flashing. 7. Select Edit/Current Profile 8. Uncheck "Terminal Bell" and click on Close Actual Results: When you go back in, the "Terminal Bell" setting is checked again Expected Results: I expect it to behave properly. Additional info: And _please_ don't flash the whole window instead of beeping...that's even more annoying...especially while typing in the dark...
Nalin does vte have some sort of visual bell feature?
I am experiencing similar problems, but in my case the "terminal bell" setting clears itself when I close the setup window. In any case, I cannot get gnome-terminal to stop beeping.
Havoc, the terminal does have a visual bell -- that's the screen flashing you see when the audible bell is silenced. At the moment it doesn't have a "neither" setting.
so there are two issues here - one is that the checkbox for toggling the bell is screwy (someone has a boolean value backward). The other is that if you manage to toggle it off, the visual bell appears. FWIW I think we should add the "neither" setting. But given time constraints it might be a good idea to just disable visual bell for this release.
Fix from CVS should be applied: * src/profile-editor.c (profile_editor_update_silent_bell): add missing "!" that made the "Terminal bell" setting behave incorrectly
Actually, in the (null) beta, I don't get the visual bell anymore. The "Terminal Bell" option in gnome-terminal doesn't appear to do anything. Everytime I check it, it unchecks itself. Setting Preferences/Keyboard/Sound/Keyboard Bell works great for gnome-terminal. I can turn the beep on and off at will. I never see the visual bell anymore. So it seems the only thing to do is get rid of the "Terminal Bell" in gnome-terminal's GUI.
Fix applied in 2.0.1-5.
Fix confirmed with gnome-terminal-2.0.1-5.
