If starting multiple xfce4-terminal instances, and at least one of them starts blinking (due to `Visual bell` setting being enabled in `Preferences->Advanced->[v] Visual bell`) then if disabling `Visual bell` setting from another terminal, the terminal(s) that are still blinking will never stop blinking when they aren't focused. tested xfce4-terminal 0.8.8git-02ec7e5 (Xfce 4.14pre2) rough STR: 1. `$ echo 'switch away from this terminal by clicking any other window'; sleep 2; echo -e '\a'; sleep 200;` (now that ^ terminal blinks) 2. start new terminal(if not having one already), disable Visual bell via `Preferences->Advanced->[ ] Visual bell` in this new terminal 3. focus the terminal in step 1 4. focus any other window the terminal in step 1 is still blinking its title bar expected: that terminal shouldn't be blinking anymore I'm guessing the code to de-blink is disabled when the Visual bell setting is disabled and this is why this behavior is seen.

Hi, thanks for the report! You're right, there was an excessive check in the code that prevented the window from stopping blinking.
Thank you for the fix, much appreciated!
