Beep on exit

alpha). Every time I quit the editor, it beeps.
1) 'visualbell' is set.
2) 't_vb' is reset. In fact, when I set it to A, I see that character
is printed on excessive <esc>, but Vim still beeps on exit.
3) I'm sure this isn't about plugins and configuration, because
vim-7.2 didn't beep, and I tried to remove .vim and .vimrc
The system is Fedora 13. How can I debug the problem? What other piece
of code can print BELL?
Tony Mechelynck
Well, :echo "\x07" (with the double quotes) will issue a beep on most
terminals; but I wouldn't say that it's a commonplace thing to do.
When you do
:verbose au VimLeave
does it mention anything? Those autocommands would be run as the last
thing before exiting Vim.
Best regards,
Tony.

How shall we fix this?

Hm, what are the answers to each of the following in Vim running in
gnome-terminal?
:verbose set enc? tenc? term? t_ts? title? titlestring?
:lang cty
:echo has('title')
:echo has('X11')
:echo has('xterm_save')
Does anything change if (assuming bash shell) you do
unset LC_ALL LC_CTYPE
export LANG=uk_UA.utf-8
either before starting gnome-terminal (but in the same shell or a parent
shell), or before starting Vim? You may want to check that
'fileencodings' (plural) is appropriately set, maybe something like
set fencs=ucs-bom,utf-8,koi8-u
or similar. (If you use more than one 8-bit encodings for the files you
edit, let's say koi8-u and Windows-1251, Vim won't be able to recognize
which is which when reading the file — anything after the first 8-bit
charset in 'fileencodings' would be ignored: see ":help ++opt" about how
to open files in whatever charset is not your default.)

I don't know (unless the above helps you); but maybe Bram (or someone)
might have an idea. As a temporary workaround, maybe either
:set notitle
or
:set title titlestring=Термінал
but the latter may fail if 'encoding' is different from the charset
defined by the $LC_CTYPE set by your OS.
Best regards,
Tony.

set the title from PS1 to ensure the title is ASCII. So whenever Vim
is started, oldtitle will be remembered and restored on exit
correctly. I'll give it a try to fix this bug a bit later.

This sounds very similar to a bug that was reported in Debian[0].
I just had a chance to look through the patch and it looks like the
right fix to me. See if it fixes your problem.

For me it was not sufficient. I also had to use the other function for
XA_STRING. I added a check for 'encoding' to be a multi-byte encoding,
hopefully that covers all normal use cases.
I also had a problem with ":set titlestring=foo", but that turned out to
be an xterm setting (by default it expects latin1, even when everything
else is utf-8). Setting the utf8Title property fixed that.
