I opened a PowerShell and WSLv1 Ubuntu tabs. I've got:

Tab names:

  • Windows Power Shell
  • "Ubuntu-18.04" changing after a few seconds into "vadimkantorov@DESKTOP-4UF8FID"

Tab tooltips:

  • Windows Power Shell
  • vadimkantorov@DESKTOP-4UF8FID

For consistency, shouldn't WSLv1 tab tooltip read something like "Ubuntu-18.04: vadimkantorov@DESKTOP-4UF8FID"?

Shouldn't all tabs either use shell-provided prompts or not? Shouldn't tooltips preserve shell type?
