My xfce terminal title says "Terminal". When open Vim with "vim -u NONE" and exit immediately with ":q!" the terminal title becomes "Terminal - Terminal". I would expect it to be "Terminal". If I repeat it, terminal title becoms "Terminal - Terminal - Terminal", etc. Each time I enter/exit Vim one more "- Terminal" gets appended (or pre-pended?). This does not happen with gnome-terminal or with xterm. It only happens with xfce-terminal. I'm using xubuntu-12.04 which has xfce-terminal version 0.4.8. I only started noticing this bug when I commented out the lines "PS1=…" in the default ~/.bashrc that comes with xubuntu-12.04. The following bug describes the same issue: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=575795 I also opened a bug initially for Vim but I think that it's more likely a problem with xfce-terminal: http://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=82 Perhaps this is related: if I type this command in xfce-terminal-0.4.8: $ echo -ne "\033]0;SOME TITLE HERE\007" Then terminal title becomes "Terminal - SOME TITLE HERE". But if I type the same command in other terminals (xterm or gnome-terminal), then the title becomes "SOME TITLE HERE". Why is xfce-terminal prepending "Terminal - …" whereas other terminal don't?
Can't reproduce this, but the pre/append can be selected from the prefs dialog.
I can reproduce this. It occurs in both a single terminal window or a window with multiple tabs. I would start vim with something like "vim ~/.bashrc" and then ":sp ~/path/to/some/file.txt" and then quit out of vim. In my General preference stab, my initial title is set to "terminal" and my Dynamically set title is set to "Goes before initial title". I am running Ubuntu 12.04.2 with terminal version 0.6.1
