Re: [SOLVED] System hanging with terrible endless bell sound when bckspcng

With X11 working again, I tried adding GDK_BACKEND=x11 again, but the problem is back.
Gimp, for some reason, no longer has the issue. It never had the GDK_BACKEND env. in the menu before, but I am 100% sure it had the same issue before, and now not anymore.

So I think I have a workable solution for now, but the real issue is still there.

Re: [SOLVED] System hanging with terrible endless bell sound when bckspcng

export GDK_CORE_DEVICE_EVENTS=1 # general GDK input handling
export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim # don't use ibus
export NO_AT_BRIDGE=1 # nor at-spi (a11y stuff like a screenreader like orca)

Is the problem now completely limited to audacity?
Do you get it w/ gtk3-demo ?

Sorry, can you help me. Where should I put these?

It seems like it...

... because I don't have the issue with gtk3-demo, even when started with GDK_BACKEND=x11 env...
Without the env, there is no sound at all when backspacing on an empty edit field, with the env the sound is there, but it doesn't hang like in audacity.

Something absolutely seems to be fixed because I no longer have it in Gimp. And I don't really understand how that happened. We did fix my X11 of course.

Update: Whut?
Sorry, but it is now fixed in Audacity too. I really don't understand this!
I really didn't imagine this...
