Windows Terminal version

main fbe0416

Windows build number

10.0.19044.0

Other Software

WSL Ubuntu, Arch & Fedora

Steps to reproduce

  • set Tab title in SUI

Expected Behavior

  • new WSL tab to have defined Tab title

Actual Behavior

  • WSL instances won't show Tab title from settings.json, instead it shows user@host
  • it does show correct tab title for Powershell and Command Prompt

Sample setting for WSL Ubuntu:

           {
                "guid": "{2c4de342-38b7-51cf-b940-2309a097f518}",
                "hidden": false,
                "name": "Ubuntu",
                "source": "Windows.Terminal.Wsl",
                "startingDirectory": "~",
                "tabTitle": "Ubuntu"
            },

and terminal:
