[Bug 1511245] [NEW] unable to rename tabs in gnome-terminal

 

Public bug reported:

After upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04 or later, it's no longer possible to
rename terminal tabs (as a result of unfortunate changes in upstream
gnome-terminal).

This feature is extremely useful for people working with terminals
(sysadmins, programmers...).


Upstream developer recommends changing names by using escape sequences, which is complicated and unintuitive (and does not always work, i.e. with remote sessions).
