Description Avirupa Chakrabarty 2002-04-08 06:01:50 UTC 
Reproducibility: Always
Version : 1.99.6
Tested on Linux as well as Solaris 2.9 64 bit platforms. The problem is 
present in both the places.

Procedure:
1. Start up Gnome control center. Double click on the option 'Preferences: 
Keyboard' to open the Keyboard preferences dialog window.
2. Go to the 'Sound' tab. Enable the option 'Keyboard bell off'. Keep 
pressing the backspace key after typing a command on the gnome terminal. 
When the command is fully removed even then keep pressing the backspace 
key. The keyboard bell rings then.
3. Repeat step 2 by enabling the option 'Keyboard bell enabled'. Here also 
the bell rings.

Jody, can you take a look at this?
Comment 3 Luis Villa 2002-04-10 02:52:24 UTC 
Updating all cc bugs that have the GNOME2 keyword set to the GNOME2.0 milestone,
to help jrb triage/prioritize cc bugs. Filter on 'luis doing GNOME2 work' to
ignore this spam.
Comment 4 Jonathan Blandford 2002-04-12 20:51:07 UTC 
can you:
1) make sure that gnome-settings-daemon is running
2) run 'xset q' to see that the right thing is being changed

Thanks,

Today I tested on Solaris 2.8 by following the same procedure given 
in this bug. This behaviour is seen only when I used 'bash' shell. 
When I used 'sh' or 'ksh' shells, I didn't see this behaviour.
Comment 6 Luis Villa 2002-04-30 20:27:15 UTC 
Rachel: as per comment in bug 78015.
Comment 7 Luis Villa 2002-05-01 08:55:00 UTC

Comment 9 jacob berkman 2002-05-16 21:45:40 UTC 
fixes this on linux.

going to rebuild with this on solaris to see if it fixes the keyboard
click volume.

ignore the default editor part of gnome-settings-daemon.c
Comment 10 jacob berkman 2002-05-16 23:20:24 UTC 
fixed in CVS.
Comment 11 Avirupa Chakrabarty 2002-05-17 11:00:21 UTC 
The problem still persists when I tested it on the source taken on 
14th May. Hence reopening the bug.
Comment 12 Jody Goldberg 2002-05-17 12:19:01 UTC 
Jacob's fix did no go in until the 16th.
Please try again with up to date source.
Comment 13 Avirupa Chakrabarty 2002-08-13 11:25:59 UTC 
The problem is solved in beta 2 build. Hence closing the bug.
Comment 14 prabhut 2002-09-11 04:14:11 UTC 
I tested with sun beta 2 build 6 package. SOurce taken from gnome-2-0 
branch dated "Tue Aug 27 14:57:39 BST 2002".

Keyboard bell is heard only if have bash shell. If I have ksh or csh 
as shell, I am not hearing keyboard bell.

Can we reopen this bug?.
Comment 15 Avirupa Chakrabarty 2002-09-11 04:19:38 UTC 
Reopening the bug.
Comment 16 Jody Goldberg 2002-09-11 05:56:41 UTC 
If the bell works for some shells and not for others then your ar
misconfiguring the shells.  xset -q is the final word on whether this feature
is enabled.
Comment 17 anju.premachandran 2002-09-20 12:41:52 UTC 
This feauture gets enabled in all the shells but it does not reflect 
in gnome-terminal for ksh or csh shell.
