Is a screen-window's title supposed to persist?
I have created two windows in one "screen" session. I have titled them
both by typing "CONTROL-a" followed by a colon followed by the word
"title" followed by my title, one for each window.
I have the titles permanently displayed at the bottom of the window by
two lines in my "~/.screenrc" file:
hardstatus alwayslastline
hardstatus string "%w"
I don't know if it makes any difference, but I also have
altscreen on
The problem is that the screen-window titles do not persist. After I
enter a command like "ls", the title changes to something like
username@machine:~/Man
where the directory name is the first first three characters of the name
of the current directory in my home directory.
Is the lack of persistence working as designed, a bug, or am I missing
something?
My version/release of "screen" on Fedora is 4.6.2-8.fc30.
Thanks for any help,
