Hello,
I have defined the PS1 variable as follow
PS1='\[\e]0;\w\a\]\[\e[32m\]\u@\h \[\e[35m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\n\$ '
so that the cur dir is set as title of the window.
This generally work for both mintty or cmd.
But after the sequence
Luc@Mulan ~
$ emacs &
[1] 371
Luc@Mulan ~
$ cd bin
Luc@Mulan ~/bin
$
the title of the mintty widow remain to "~".
The same sequence with cmd window change the title to "~/bin"
The title is correctly updated only after I close emacs and push a
return to the main window.
Any explanation? Thanks
Noted first, this is in any case not a mintty issue as mintty updates
the title whenever it receives the respective escape sequence. The
scenario sounds weird, however. Is the background process continuously
sending title escape sequences? But 'emacs &' looks like you're
starting a GUI instance of emacs, right? So why should it?
Try to isolate the background instance from the terminal:
emacs > /dev/null 2>&1 &
