That's not the original title as set by me in my precmd and jobcmd alias. So, I would say technically that it is not.

I found a hack around on the net:

set title " show title in title bar
let &titlestring = v:progname . " - " . " [" . $FILM . " " . $SCENE . " " . $SHOT . "]"
auto BufEnter * let &titlestring = v:progname . " - " . expand("%:p") . " [" . $FILM . " " . $SCENE . " " . $SHOT . "]"
function! ResetTitle()
" disable vim's ability to set the title and let the precmd do it
exec "set title t_ts='' t_fs=''"
endfunction
autocmd VimLeave * silent call ResetTitle()

Of course when vim job is suspended this does not work. I need to investigate whether there is an autocommand for that case as well.
