neovim-qt: titlestring doesn't work during VIMEnter

Doesn’t seem to matter what I have set my titlestring to, but the following or similar doesn’t work: autocmd VIMEnter * set titlestring=foo

The title remains as “Neovim”. Additionally, manually trying set titlestring=foo won’t work after startup. You have to change the title bar to something else than what was set during VIMEnter for it to work.

@zvirja I didn’t try it on the command line, but in two steps:

nvim-qt c:\log.txt
(in the freshly opened nvim-qt window) :set title

So, the issue is not solved. But at least setting the title by hand after nvim is freshly opened (might be about 4 seconds after the command nvim-qt c:\log.txt was issued) works.

However if I open a file with my terminal $nvim-qt filename the title is not set.

I see it, its mostly the same as the original bug report. This needs to be checked upstream.

Testing here it does set the buffer name in the window title.

is set title on?
are you using a custom titlestring?
