** [plugin-bugs:#1919] Title bar session name setting problem with Sessions plugin 1.7**

I am using jEdit 5.6, Sessions Manager Plugin v1.7, and Java 1.8.0_302, under Windows 10.

I wanted to turn off the session name in the title bar so unchecked 'Show session name in the jEdit title bar' and, for good measure 'Use "Session:" prefix in jEdit title bar'. It does not work. jEdit continues to show a session title in brackets in the title bar. The session title shown seems to get stuck to some previously used session, and changing session does not change it.  It's as though it gets initialised to some value and then is not changed on session change (as requested!). Setting 'Show session name in the jEdit title bar' back on results in the session name being updated in the title bar properly as expected.

The following sequence demonstrates the problem:

1. Plugins | Plugin Options... | Sessions | Set 'Show session name in the jEdit title bar' ON | Apply
2. View the title bar while changing sessions and observe that the session name in the title bar changes.
3. Note the last session name in the title bar.
4. Plugins | Plugin Options... | Sessions | Set 'Show session name in the jEdit title bar' OFF | Apply
5. Note that the title bar retains the previous session name as expected  because we're still in the same session.
6. Change session several times and note that the session name in the title bar does not change.
7. Repeat 1 and 2 and note that the session name in the title bar returns to changing as the session changes.

I have tried working with the sources of the Session plugin. I managed to make the list of sessions sort in a case insensitive way but could not track down the problem with the above.

What I am trying to achieve is to have the title bar contain "jEdit" as it does without the Sessions plugin loaded. This is so that I can identify jEdit windows with AutoHotkey and target macros defined for my external keypad to jEdit.

with regards,
Lummo
