Bug Description

When changing the sound effect from Bark to Default and back, it crashes Gnome Control Center unconditionally. Doesn't make sense, but oh well.

It also affects me. Rapidly changing the alert sound makes the window grown until it crashes.

i checked the bug on other systems, and it is still present, even in the beta. So i think it's time to change its status.

This is a pretty old bug. Can anyone else confirm this?

This happens to me too, so this bug is still confirmed.

So this happens in gnome-control-center too, so it's not a specific switchboard bug.

It only happens with Bark and Default. I took a recording of the odd behaviour. This occurs in Gnome Control Center too, I tested with Ubuntu 13.04.
