Terminal: Rename tab title not working for WSL and Bash

Created on 13 Apr 2020  路  2Comments  路  Source: microsoft/terminal

Hi :)

Bug report

I use the latest Windows Terminal with PowerShell, CMD, Ubuntu (WSL) and Bash (Git Bash for Windows) and I can't change the title of the Ubuntu and Bash tab in the profiles.json file.

I saw that it was implemented in #1358, but it doesn't work in the cases I described.

And why this?
Is there a solution?

Configuration and Execution

In profiles.json file:

In Windows Terminal:

But it's working for CMD and PowerShell:

Turn on the suppressApplicationTitle option. The "tab title" is a recommendation, and the application can delete it if it wants to. Bash usually does. supressApplicationTitle overrides bash.
