Title: Destop menu truncates window titles from the @ sign to the end of line.
Post by: Rich on May 28, 2026, 11:10:59 AM

I recently noticed something while working on a script.

(https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=28151.0;attach=7253)

In the image above, the title bar of the terminal says:

Quote

mc [tc@E310]:~/Scripting/T_BirdNotifications

but the desktop menu lists that windows title as:

Quote

mc [tc

As you can see, everything from the @ sign to the end of the line is missing.

This occurs with flwm_topside.

So my questions are this:

1. Has anyone else seen this on other window managers (openbox, hackedbox, jwm, etc)?

2. Is there any downside to replacing the @ sign in my command prompt?
   For example, from this:

Code: [Select]

tc@E310:~$    To this:

Code: [Select]

tc(at)E310:~$    Or this:

Code: [Select]

tc.E310:~$    Or something else?
