I have several problems with windows names and panes.

First if I have a window named "myWin" and I create a new pane, the name is changed into "bash" whereas I want it to remain "myWin".

Second, if I have a two windows, "foo" and "bar", and I do join-pane -s bar, my window is renamed "bash" too.

To finish, I'd like that after my join-pane -s bar, when I do a break-pane, my window previously named "bar" is re-created with the same name.

For all of you struggling with the same question — for me the issue happens when I set default-terminal in .tmux.conf to anything except:

set -g default-terminal "xterm-256color"

Which is really weird because tmux FAQ definitely specifies that is should be tmux or tmux-256color or something similar.

I've tried different options and sometimes window name won't be changed but then something else stops working (i.e. normal behavior of the up button ↑).

Also I use macOS Terminal and in Preferences > Profiles > Advanced I have setting Declare terminal as xterm-256color which is certainly related.
