Title:
  gnome-terminal does not change window title after returning root
  account

Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If a user change user to root via sudo su command then exit root
  account by writing exit, gnome-terminal does not change window title
  or tab name to default one or profile's preferred title.

  Steps to produce bug:
  1- Open gnome-terminal -> title of the terminal shows user's preferred title like Terminal or user_name@host_name:some_dir_path
  2- sudo su -> title or tab name of the terminal changes to root@host_name:some_dir_path
  3- Exit root account by exit command
  4- Title of the terminal remains root@host_name:some_dir_path

  What I expect to happen:
  1- Open gnome-terminal -> title of the terminal shows user's preferred title like Terminal or user_name@host_name:some_dir_path
  2- sudo su -> title of the terminal changes to root@host_name:some_dir_path
  3- Exit root account by exit command
  4- Title of the terminal should change to user's preferred title like Terminal or user_name@host_name:some_dir_path
