Description Unknown 2008-08-20 04:43:51 UTC

Version:           1.6.6 (using KDE 3.5.9)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

There is a small terminal icon at the bottom of every konsole window (every tab gets a new icon like this). The strange thing is that this icon disappears temporarily if I'm at the beginning of a line and press "Backspace".

I'm not sure if this is intentional or not and it's certainly not a big deal, but it's kind of strange.

Oh I see, is this like a substitute for the system beep?

In 3.5.9, I see the screen icon turn into a bell. 
In 4.1.62, nothing happens.

I don't see a bell. Maybe I'm missing the icon?

Looks like this is the case.  This might be a Kubuntu specific issue.  Either way, they are moving to KDE 4 now and they won't be doing further updates to KDE 3.

Thank-you for the report.

What about people who are using Konsole in an Ubuntu/Gnome environment (like me)?

Comment 6 Robert Knight 2008-09-22 04:50:16 UTC

That shouldn't make any difference.  The same Konsole package will be installed whether you are using Ubuntu with Gnome or KDE as your desktop.
