Feature request: tab names should be persistent if entered manually, and without any automatic additions to them

Thanks for filing an issue! Please answer the questions below so I can help you.

• iTerm2 version: build 3.0.10
• OS version: macOS Sierra 10.12
• Attach ~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist here (drag-drop from finder into this window) com.googlecode.iterm2.plist

Detailed steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Disable 'Show current job name' in 'Appearance' pane in Settings.
2. Open new tab.
3. Set tab name to My Custom Tab Name with cmd+i (actually I'd prefer a dedicated small dialog window just for tab name, also accessible from tab right-click menu).
4. See tab name change to My Custom Tab Name [bash]. (I don't like that [bash] is being added too).
5. run Midnignt Commander (mc) for example.

What happened: my custom manually entered tab name changed to mc [host-name]

What should have happened: tab name should not have changed

I'm asking for Konsole-like behaviour. If tab name has not been renamed by operator, let its name be handled automatically. However if I want to rename a tab, I want its name to stay put no matter what I run in this tab.

I like the behavior your describe of Konsole. For now the best bet is to turn off Prefs > Appearance > Terminal may set tab/window title, but that's obviously not ideal.

Milestone changed to %Review for next version
