Because 'one' is takes as the title, and 'two' as a command to execute. > mintty -t "one two" =C2=A0 =C2=A0result: =C2=A0no title > mintty -t 'one two' =C2=A0 =C2=A0result: =C2=A0no title Works fine for me. Please note that bash's default prompt (i.e. the PS1 variable) sets the terminal title to the current working directory, thus overwriting anything you set with the -t option. > mintty -t `one two` =C2=A0 =C2=A0result: =C2=A0Same as no quotes Because that tries to run 'one' as a command.
