Description Darren 2009-04-16 19:43:31 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Problem:
When manually setting the tab title, it won't stick, even if the tab title format in the config is left blank.

Reproduce: 
Login to a remote machine(call it cgi) multiple time, then shell from that machine to another machines(call them app1, app2, app3) - I'd like the tab to say app1, app2, app2 etc.   The predefined values see the original machine, not the final destination so remote host name isn't correct(it reverts to cgi).  If clearing the 'format' tab the tab title is continually reverted back to 'Shell' - or whatever the profile's name is.

Expected Behavior:
If a user manually sets the tab title that should be the final be all name of that tab - and it should be persistent.

I use 
qdbus org.kde.konsole $KONSOLE_DBUS_SESSION org.kde.konsole.Session.setTitle 1 MyName

command in my script to set the tab name. But it has the same problem as manual setting.

Qt: 4.5.2
KDE: 4.3.2 (KDE 4.3.2)
Konsole: 2.3.2

PS: Seems to me the original bug (reported by Darren) was corrected, as I see. Thank you very much. Please correct dbus name setting.

KDE 4.3.3 (upgraded from openSuSE 11.1)
Konsole: 2.3.3

I still have that buggy behaviour, when the tabs are renamed manually as well as by means of dbus.
Comment 5 Brandon Boles 2010-05-18 15:49:40 UTC
Same behavior seen on Fedora 11, KDE 4.4.3, Qt 4.6.2, Konsole 2.4.3.
Comment 6 Herbert Duerr 2010-05-19 10:28:00 UTC
This issue should be merged into bug 183963 as they describe the same regression from KDE3. Automatically renaming manually-named tabs to useless names like "Shell" kills productivity especially when many tabs are open at the same time.
Comment 7 Kurt Hindenburg 2010-10-14 03:11:08 UTC
This has been fixed in recent versions.
