Description

The easiest way to test this is to manually change the window's title. For example, the following command works to change the window's title when using gnome-terminal:

$ PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;SOME TITLE HERE\007"'
$ 
$ 

When this same command is run through Guacamole, part of the new title is printed inline on every line (everything save for the first alphabetical character), and resembles artifacting:

$ PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;SOME TITLE HERE\007"'
OME TITLE HERE $ 
OME TITLE HERE $ 

...NB: if you run this same command inside gnu screen, the output is slightly different (note the subsequent command prompts lack the same title artifacting)

$ PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;SOME TITLE HERE\007"'
OME TITLE HERE $ 
$ 

...furthermore, if you detach and reattach to the same gnu screen, the artifacting is gone.
