Originally created by @reaching-for-libra on GitHub (May 9, 2023).

Originally assigned to: @zadjii-msft on GitHub.

Windows Terminal version

1.17.1023

Windows build number

10.0.19044.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Not entirely sure which actions are relevant, and i have a hard time reproducing with explicit actions, so i'll outline my flow

  • Plug laptop into dock
  • Start windows terminal (pwsh profile). (suppressApplicationTitle is set to "true" in the settings.json file)
  • Launch new tab(s) in a new window, specifying titles for tabs

wt.exe -w 2 --title 6000 -p cmd cmd /c "cd \"c:\projectdirectory\" &\"C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe\" run --urls \"http://*:6000\" &pause"

  • Some time later, unplug laptop from dock and close
  • Take laptop elsewhere (some amount of commute time), and plug into new dock.
  • Most likely, wait until the following day before opening the laptop again

Expected Behavior

Tab titles should be retained

Actual Behavior

Tab titles revert to the command. In the example, tab title changes to "cmd"

note to self: this isn't just the "language change causes runtime settings to be lost" issue. I think there's some other issue floating around for "a settings update causes commandline settings to be lost". Probably something about NewTerminalArgs.

I'll need to go dedupe later.

I'm pretty sure this is ultimately #5047. Really hard to tell just by reading, but that's my read of the situation. Thanks for a more concrete example!

/dup #5047
