A bug, for sure. I'll need a log to try to figure out what's going on. Could 
you please add these options:

   -L/path/to/logfile
   -ldebug,inpkts,outpkts,brlkeys

We'll need to come up with a way for me to find the right place within the log 
to look. I could look for that key (Display5), but you probably use it fairly 
often. Perhaps you could pause a half a minute or so before you cause the 
proiblem, and then stop brltty quickly afterward. That way, I can look for the 
last pause in the log, ensure it's followed by a use of that key, and that 
that's followed by an alert tune.

A new feature is that the comfirmation tune is played twice if you're already 
in the desired state. Whether this is a good or bad thing is open to debate. 
There's still time to change it.

That's because Display1 is actually bound to the function which turns on cursor 
tracking, a side effect of which is to bring the braille display to where the 
system cursor is. The double tune is telling you that cursor tracking is 
already on. Am I correct that it used to play the tune once? Should it be 
silent?
