Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.19041.329
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): d350a8932485f618b1658353a0573ac2422a3c36 and also repros in 1.1.1812.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch Terminal
  2. Create a 2nd tab
  3. Rename the inactive tab to anything, like "bananas"
  4. Switch to the inactive tab
  5. Check the top-level window's title text (e.g., by looking at the label in the ALT+TAB experience)

Expected behavior

I'd expect the top-level window's title text to always match the active tab's title (_runtimeTabText).

Actual behavior

The top-level window's title text is just the default tab title. If you rename the tab while it's the active tab, then the top-level window title is updated... until you switch away from the tab. Once you return back to the tab, the top-level window has returned to the default title for the tab.

This is the console:

But this is what ALT+TAB thinks it's titled -- I'd expect it to say "bananas" at the top, not "PowerShell":
