Ignore control characters in the text part of Xpe (OSC, Operating System
Control) of the form "ESC]Pn;Pt\a" escape sequences; this matches what
XTerm docs say.

If userTitle is an empty string, set the window title to a blank space
when showWindowTitleOnTitleBar is enabled; basically if the user sets
the title to an empty string, leave it as-is.

• unset PROMPT_COMMAND, in case the shell is configured to set the window title via that variable
• Make sure "Show window title on the title bar" is enabled
• Execute:

$ /usr/bin/echo -e 'j\e]2;\n\aj'

• The window title is changed to the tab title text; and the output looks like this:

j
j

• Apply the diff, build, and try again, the window title should be set to an empty string (really a blank space), and the output should look like:

jj
