Why is there a “connection” visible in the terminal window title?
This might be a weird question, but I really would like to know what's causing the following screen, which I attached to this entry.
When starting terminal on my Mac I do see the terminal title as shown in the picture. The path (which for me looks connection/working directory) is from the cluster I am working on - sometimes.
But when starting terminal freshly, there should not be a connection - and there isn't. But why do I see this path?
I also observed that terminal is a bit delayed when starting fresh so... there is slight concern that there is something off here.
Every hint for what's going on here (or maybe this is normal) is greatly appreciated.
(I checked the terminal > preference > window already and I cannot get rid of the path when un-checking everyhting which is optional/listed under the "Windows" tab in the "Title" section.)
Thanks much!

Your shell can do this via the setting inPS1(that's likely where the Apple developer for Terminal.app got the idea, to begin with).

Thanks for your response, but to my knowledgePS1is setting the values for the prompt, not for the title of the terminal window. The title of the window (seen as username@bluewaves:/path/to/folder, is not the same as the promt, which is local user since there is no connection to the cluster called bluewaves. So... that's creating the confusion on my end. Why is there this path etc from the cluster despite the fact that there is no ssh connection active?

check in your home directory for .profile, .bash_profile, and/or .bashrc and see if there is a line like echo -n "33]0;${USER}@${HOST}07" anywhere in there.
