Dear Maintainer, Noticed in the version in Debian Testing that the timer, when done, will ring multiple times instead of once as usual. This is accompanied by the visual notification glitching 3 or 4 times before settling on the screen. Seems to happen only when I set a timer for around 30 minutes and do some other task. The problem has gone away when I rebooted my machine.
I am experiencing this in Stable as well, minus the visual notification bit. Steps the same as for in Testing: 1. Set a timer for at least 25 minutes. 2. Let it countdown till the end. 3. The chime will ring multiple times instead of once. Timers set after the initial one ring multiple times as well. For example, if you set a 5 second timer after the first 25 minute one, the 5 second timer will chime multiple times instead of once.
I have found that a chime will ring randomly after the timer has gone off. As in, the timer will go down, I will not start another timer, and a chime will ring without a drop down notification, hours later. This is with the clock app open or closed.
