RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

nothing (empty)

Additional info:

Hello I was just checking on this to see if you needed any feedback.  I'm hoping since it is a reduction in functionality since RHEL6 that it might be something easy to re-port back in/fix.

Also one more element.  The reason why the bug fix is important is because it can be used to match in a more advanced way versus the screen name.  So if you want to attach a screen in RHEL6 you can use the title.  You can no longer do this in RHEL7 which is very problematic since it will not set the title appropriately.  Screen is still a very useful tool for many of us.

Hello,

As far as I am concerned, `-t` option works as intended - with one nitpick
that the title is dynamically overridden by $PROMPT_COMMAND of bash.
