Description el 2017-08-08 11:45:47 UTC 
org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences.visual-bell-type is ignored, there is always a fullscreen flash despite the setting being set to frame-flash.

It worked for me properly before on a recent GNOME version (around 3.22.x) under an X11 session, so this is probably either a regression with a new GNOME version or a regression when changing from the X11 session to the Wayland session.

What version/distro are you using? This should be fixed since bug 763284, and I can't reproduce any issue in a quick test ...
Comment 2 Florian Müllner 2017-08-08 13:56:08 UTC 
(In any case, the visual bell is handled entirely in mutter)
Comment 3 el 2017-08-08 14:17:58 UTC 
GNOME 3.24.3 (gnome control center "Details" dialog says 3.24.2 but package installed is supposedly 3.24.3) on Fedora 26 with mutter 3.24.4
Comment 4 mmitar 2017-11-23 02:59:01 UTC 
I have the same issue. Gnome 3.26.1 on Ubuntu 17.10.
Comment 5 mmitar 2017-11-23 04:52:26 UTC 
It seems some extra work was needed to get it to work based on this issue: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=763284

But it seems like it has been done. But this could explain why in wayland it maybe does not work.

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
