The mintty window title changes assuming that PS1 is set to change it with the directory change or some other method. The mouse over on the task bar icon will give the full title of the window. I don't see this as an issue. -- Earnie -- https://sites.google.com/site/earnieboyd -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
