[3.13] Non-alphanumeric characters get stripped out of connection window titles

I've noticed that after you create a new Session and then connect with it, any character that isn't a letter/number (parentheses, brackets, dashes, spaces, etc..) get stripped out of the connection window's title bar. For example, if I have a list of sessions named like: (SSH) Solaris03-AP1 (SSH) Solaris03-AP1, 7002 (SSH) Solaris03-AP1-APA, 7001 (SSH) Solaris03-AP1-APB, 7001 (SSH) Solaris13-AP2, 7002 (SSH) Solaris13-AP2-APA, 7001 (SSH) Solaris13-AP2-APB, 7001 (Telnet) Solaris03-AP1, 6000 (Telnet) Solaris-boot1 Terminal-Server-1 Terminal-Server-2 (These are hypothetical names, but the connections I really use are similar.) The connection windows for them end up titled: SSHSolaris03AP1 SSHSolaris03AP17002 SSHSolaris03AP1APA7001 SSHSolaris03AP1APB7001 SSHSolaris13AP27002 SSHSolaris13AP2APA7001 SSHSolaris13AP2APB7001 TelnetSolaris03AP16000 TelnetSolarisboot1 TerminalServer1 TerminalServer2 Which is a lot trickier to distinguish at a glance;) -- most of the visual cues that separate the meaningfully different parts of the title are gone. I did find that if I manually right-click on the connection window title and select 'Rename...', it will remember whatever special characters I used the next time I open that connection.

This is actually the same bug that was causing your IP address to get converted to a window title of just "192". Should be fixed for the next version already. And, as you mentioned, you can always rename a window. In fact, window names can be dynamic and can contain variables.

I just released v3.14, so give it a try. I ran out of time to actually test the kind of window names you mentioned here, so please post if it's still a problem in case the "192" bug didn't fix it.

Looks like the same thing happens in 3.14 -- anything except numbers/letters are stripped out. (Tested on XP instead of Vista this time)
