Whenever I press the backspace key to browse backwards in Thunar, I hear a bleep sound. The same happens when I delete files with the delete key. I go back to the folder I was previously viewing, or delete the selected files as I wanted, but with an unwanted bleep.

When running thunar through a terminal, it doesn't output anything when this happens.

When I press the backspace key in other parts of the program it performs as expected, and only bleeps if I do something wrong. For example, in the location bar, pressing backspace does not cause a bleep unless the cursor is before the first letter, when I hear a bleep.

I don't hear a bleep if I browse back using the toolbar or delete a file using a menu, it only when I use the keyboard.

I am using thunar version 0.8.0-6ubuntu3, with XFCE on Ubuntu 7.10 on an iBook G4.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a Thunar window
2. Browse to a folder
3. Press backspace to navigate to the previous folder
4. Note the system beep.

Alternatively:
1. Select a file you do not need.
2. Press "Delete".
3. Note the system beep.

Actual Results:  
I heard the system beep.

Expected Results:  
No beep.

Thunar version 0.8.0-6ubuntu3 with Xfce on Ubuntu 7.10 on an iBook G4
Also tested on:
Thunar version 0.8.0-6ubuntu3 on Xubuntu 7.10 on Intel x86.

There is nothing for that in Thunar.
