The window title should be configurable with profiles in the same manner as the tab title. Reproducible: Always

You can sort of achieve that with current konsole: - There's a "Show window title on the titlebar" option (Settings -> Configure Konsole -> General); if it's disabled, the same text is used for both the tab and titlebar - If it's enabled, you can set the window title using escape sequences, e.g. you can use PROMPT_COMMAND for bash to set the window title, this is done by default on my system (Fedora 28), I have this line in /etc/bashrc (preferably you can add it to your ~/.bashrc): PROMPT_COMMAND='printf "\033]2;%s@%s:%s\007" "${USER}" "${HOSTNAME%%.*}" "${PWD/#$HOME/\~}"' the same thing can be done for zsh but you'd have to use precmd (I don't know much about zsh).
