[Bug 1388478] Re: gnome-terminal does not change window title after returning root account

 

The bug can be reproducable on other vte based terminal emulators like
Sakura and Guake. Is that mean the bug is related to vte library?

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
