Originally created by @sfmohassel on GitHub (May 9, 2022).

Windows Terminal version

1.12.10983.0

Windows build number

10.0.22000.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

From wsl (Ubuntu-20.04) run this:

cmd.exe /c "wt.exe" --title frontend --suppressApplicationTitle \; sp -V \; nt --title backend --suppressApplicationTitle \; sp -V \; sp -H \; mf left \; sp -H

Expected Behavior

title of the second tab should be backend. Something like this:

Actual Behavior

title of the second tab is the default wsl tab title.
I observed, that mf left causes this behavior. Also running this command is extremely slow (but this one requires another issue I guess?)

@zadjii-msft commented on GitHub (May 23, 2022):

Ah so, this is basically by design. The --title parameter can be used both for creating a new tab, but also when splitting new panes. The title that's actually displayed on the tab is just the title of the focused pane within the tab.

The `--title` parameter can be used both for [creating a new tab](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/command-line-arguments?tabs=windows#new-tab-command), but also when [splitting new panes](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/command-line-arguments?tabs=windows#split-pane-command).
