Window blinking when pressing Backspace

[EmilyGraceSeville7cf]

Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

10.0.19042.867

Other Software

GitBash

Steps to reproduce

Create new GitBash profile as follows:

            {
                "commandline": "\"C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe\" --cd-to-home",
                "fontSize": 14,
                "icon": "%PROGRAMFILES%\\Git\\mingw64\\share\\git\\git-for-windows.ico",
                "name": "GitBash (Windows 10)",
                "suppressApplicationTitle": false
            },

Open new GitBash tab in Windows Terminal and hold backspace.

Expected Behavior

No blinking.

Actual Behavior

Blinking while holding backspace. Besides I can't type anything while blinking is proceed.

This is actually by design. The Terminal is finally just obeying what git bash is telling it to do. For more info, see:

/dup #9430
/dup #9111
/dup #7200

To fix: nano ~/.inputrc and add the text set bell-style none or set bell-style audible. Press Ctrl + O and Ctrl + X to Save and Exit.

I found this behaviour to be really distracting/disurbing.
The regular Git Bash terminal does exhibit this behaviour, though I can confirm that /c/Program Files/Git/etc/.inputrc does contain set bell-style visible (and that command is not overwritten by anything in .inputrc.
