If I change the title from the menu, it does not change with commands

[arteze]

Expected behaviour

If I change the title from the menu, I can then change it with the following commands.

PS1="$PS1\[\e];Test\a\]"

Option 2:

xdotool getactivewindow set_window --name "Test"

Actual behaviour

If I change the title from the menu, when I want to change it with a command, the title is not changed.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

1. Change the title from the menu
2. Run the following command to change the title (it works if I don't change the title from the options):

PS1="$PS1\[\e];Test\a\]"

It would be nice if it was in both the window name and the tab name.

In Edit > Profile Preferences > Title and Command is When terminal commands set their own titles set to something other than Keep initial title?

Running PS1="$PS1\[\e];Test\a\]" works for me (Fedora 1.28.1) with a changed option in Edit > Profile Preferences > Title and Command > Initial title

Mate was uninstalled automatically and I get this error:

(mate-terminal:1147671): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 23:23:19.465: Settings schema 'org.mate.interface' is not installed

Which Open Mandriva package should I install?

[JamesR98]

I think mate-common, can you not just reinstall mate-terminal with your package manager?

[arteze]

I don't know how to enable Unsupported mirror in dnf. I found the package and mate-terminal works now.

Ah I understand. I can confirm if you set the tab name you can no longer update either the tab name or the window title using the PS1 command. This is also the case on mate-terminal 1.26.0.

I can see this being the intended functionality if someone manually changes the title they may not want it to change again. Or they might.

[arteze]

Exactly, I want it to be able to be changed again by commands once the title has been changed manually.
