Public bug reported: When using tab-completion, or otherwise triggering the terminal bell, the wallpaper switches to white and is then forced to redraw. This occurs with every beep and adds a substantial set of delays for someone who is tab-happy.
By disabling the terminal bell in gnome-terminal, this behavior is eliminated. I found this setting "checked" in gconf: /apps/compiz/plugins/fade/screen0/options/fullscreen_visual_bell I disabled that setting (and re-enabled the terminal bell in gnome- terminal) and the problem went away, but I'm using metacity (because i865 will fail from compiz to metacity) so something else is honoring that setting and it is not obvious where I should go to disabled this. I am currently using the most up-to-date Jaunty: gnome-terminal 2.25.5-0ubuntu2 metacity: 1:2.25.144-0ubuntu1 compiz: 1:0.7.9+git20090211-0ubuntu4 xserver-xorg-video-intel: 2:2.6.1-1ubuntu2 xserver-xorg: 1:7.4~5ubuntu12 I don't see anything related in the ~/.xsession-errors or gdm/:0.log files. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- terminal bell causes wallpaper to flicker (or redraw, adding a noticable delay) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330166 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
