The indicated closed issues are similar, but not the same. The problems indicated there have been fixed.

This issue however has not been fixed yet.

I found a setting for profiles that is "suppressApplicationTitle", which gives the behaviour I suggested as solution 1. The profile's name will then just be displayed instead of the applicationTitle the process itself returns.

However, solution 2 would be better if it is possible to get it to work. It is very weird that the windows openssh client only displays a default applicationTitle once the -t option is used.

A potential option 3 would be to configure tmux to properly propagate the title from its hosted application up to the terminal emulator! It looks like your shell is configured to emit a title, and that tmux is dropping it. That would also make sure that the title updates when you switch panes inside tmux.

you had want to update the tab title for SSH configurations when immediately running a command like tmux. Currently, it displays as "OpenSSH SSH client without hostname," which isn't clear. You could modify the code responsible for setting the tab title to make it more descriptive, perhaps including the hostname.

That's genious! What a simple fix. Immediately solved my problem - better than that even. Didn't think far enough myself to realise this was the problem.

I now just added set -g set-titles on to my tmux conf.

Also, I must say that I am impressed by your insanely fast response time! Thank you so much

see my last comment, that's the solution.
