title: Tmux will not stop auto-renaming windows
body: <p>A problem I have with Tmux - in the <code>.tmux.conf</code> file I have told him not to rename windows after I set their names but it seems that it is not "respecting my authority" :). </p>
  
  <p><strong>My system:</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>OSX El Capitan</li>
  <li>Tmux 2.1 (installed via Brew)</li>
  <li>Zshell</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Here is my ~/.tmux.conf content (I apologise it's quite long):</p>
  
  <pre><code># set correct term
  set -g default-terminal screen-256color
  
  # set prefix key to ctrl+a
  #unbind C-b
  set -g prefix C-a 
  
  # reload config without killing server
  bind R source-file /users/edchigliak/.tmux.conf 
  
  # enable wm window titles
  set -g set-titles on
  
  # disable auto renaming
  set -g automatic-rename off
  
  # border colour
  set -g pane-border-fg blue
  set -g pane-border-bg default
  set -g pane-active-border-fg blue
  set -g pane-active-border-bg default
  
  # wm window title string (uses statusbar variables)
  set -g set-titles-string "tmux:#I [ #W ]"
  
  # initialize sessions

  bind I source-file ~/.tmux.conf
  
  # environment
  set -g update-environment "DISPLAY SSH_ASKPASS SSH_AUTH_SOCK SSH_AGENT_PID SSH_CONNECTION WINDOWID XAUTHORITY"

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I try:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>~ > echo $TERM</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I get the correct: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>screen-256color</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>which makes me believe that it is sourcing the right <code>.conf</code> file. Also, control key bindings DO change from <code>Ctrl+b</code> to <code>Ctrl+a</code>. However, window names that I change via <code>Ctrl + a</code> and then <code>,</code>simply will not stay put. </p>
  
  <p>Any ideas what is going on? Thanks!</p>
