This generally work for both mintty or cmd. But after the sequence   Luc AT Mulan ~   $ emacs &   [1] 371   Luc AT Mulan ~   $ cd bin   Luc AT Mulan ~/bin   $ the title of the mintty widow remain to "~". The same sequence with cmd window change the title to "~/bin" The title is correctly updated only after I close emacs and push a return to the main window. Any explanation?
