Re: Is this a bug?

[George R Goffe]

Chet,

Thanks for your response.

I'm running konsoles (KDE). I have tried complettion but don't see any evidence 
of bell ringing. Not even a flash.

Do you think that bash have a problem with konsole? Maybe it's a konsole bug?


I'll look at konsole docs for anything that speaks of "alarm bells", visual or 
otherwise and report back here. Ok?

Regards,

George...

If it's in pselect, it's waiting for input. It's probably not performing
completion at all. It may have read the directory, found no common prefix
for the files it found, `rang' the visible bell, and gone back to waiting
to read the next input character.
