Here are my observations from using the GNOME desktop on 11.4 M6+:- 1. gnome-terminal - open a terminal in the home directory and enter cd and press TAB. The system-bell is heard in all its glory :) Workaround: Open "Edit > Profile preferences" and disable terminal-bell Note: Though terminal bell is enabled in 11.3, the loud system-bell is not heard when used similarly. 2. Gedit - The text editor also throws a loud beep when you try to use the use the keyboard to move the cursor to a non-existent line or column. I could figure out no obvious way to disable this. This sound is loud, irritating and best disabled for the GUI apps, as was the case with 11.3 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
