Pressing TAB causes blinking in taskbar

[Arnold_Layne]

Pressing TAB (autocomplete) causes a permanent blinking sakura's tab on the taskbar, like it happened when app require input or notify about status change.
Switch focus on the window doesn't help.

Lubuntu 18.04.6 LTS
kernel 6.1.18
Openbox 3.6.1
lxpanel 0.9.3
sakura 3.8.6

Temporary solution in sakura.conf:

use_fading=true
urgent_bell=No

I see problem here:

sakura_focus_in_cb (GtkWidget *widget, GdkEvent *event, void *data)
{
...
 if (!sakura.use_fading) return FALSE;
...
}

If "use_fading=false", then "sakura_focus_in_cb" returns BEFORE "gtk_window_set_urgency_hint".
But still need to minimize-maximize or resize the window for stoping blinks, therefore finally drowned out with "urgent_bell=No".

Thanks for your report, Arnold.

Yes, the line you point out is part of the problem, but that wasn't the only thing that needed to be fixed. Last revision solves this bug, so now when the urgent_bell is activated it will only blink when needed and not when the backspace or tab keys are pressed.
