Windows Terminal version

1.15.3465.0

Windows build number

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19045.2364]

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  • Create a vite app in d:\foo\vite-project and install its dependencies
  • Create a new tab that uses the "Command Prompt" profile and run this command wt nt --title="Please don't change my name" --startingDirectory=d:\foo\vite-project
  • Run the vite app using npm run dev

Expected Behavior

Before running the app my terminal would look like this

image

I would expect after running any external app (ie: any web/app server) the tab title would remain the same

Actual Behavior

When i run npm run dev my tab title will look like this

image

I've seen this behaviour happening with other servers.

Funny thing is... If I rename the tab manuallly
image

the tab title seems to become "static". Maybe the --title parameter is not setting properly whatever needs to set?
