Description Bill Dantowitz 2020-05-20 15:31:16 UTC

Description of problem:

frame-title-format does not display as configured in .emacs file.  The frame-title-format setting in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/default.el overrides the setting in .emacs unless you add (setq inhibit-default-init t) at the end of the .emacs file BEFORE frame-title-format.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

24.3.1

How reproducible:

Easily reproducible

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change frame-title-format in .emacs
2. Relaunch emacs.

Actual results:

The title customization is not applied.

Expected results:

The title customization is applied.

Additional info:

I found the workaround in a stackoverflow thread, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25601550/why-my-frame-title-format-does-not-work.
