SUMMARY
After using a program in one tab (namely, GNU info), that spews many BEL
characters in short time, and switching to a different tab, konsole become
unresponsive, hanging on a lock.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. I used konsole with many tabs for more than 2 months, without problems.
2. In one tab, I ran 'info m4', searched for m4_provide_if, then attempted to
abort this search by pressing some of the characters ESC, Enter, Ctrl-Q,
repeatedly.
3. I switched to a different tab.
4. At this point many notification popups appeared, each notifying me of a BEL
being emitted to the tab where 'info m4' was running.
5. As 'top' showed me that konsole was eating 200% CPU time, I killed the
'info' program.
6. Now konsole was still eating 100% CPU time, and additionally was
unresponsive (could not type into the current tab, could not switch to another
tab, could not get a menu to open).
7. I got debugging infos from the konsole process ("sudo gdb /usr/bin/konsole
2669").
8. I killed the konsole, thereby losing the state of all tabs (equivalent to
when konsole had crashed).
