Version: (using KDE 4.3.1) Compiler: gcc-4.3.1 OS: Linux Installed from: Fedora RPMs This broke sometime during 4.x cycle. If I use %w for window title and keep changing directories the title does not correctly change for about 30% of the time...... Yes, it changes correctly for few times than it suddenly does not change or changes incorrectly e.g. I do "cd .." and it still shows the old directory while we have really changed the directory. This is an important bug because I almost overwrote my files in copying them thinking that I was in a particular directory! Thanks
This may be related to bug 227156 (caching of current directory). Confirmed for 2.4.3.
I think the window title(%w) will stay as it is unless the corresponding ANSI escape is sent to change it. If the window title does not change, it is probably because no escape code is sent from terminal process(shell in this case) to update the window title. Which shell is used? How is the shell configured to update the window title? For example, PROMPT_COMMAND is a handy place to update window title after executing each command in bash.
Please provide the suggested info in comment #2. Thanks a lot.
