Issue

As you can see at 1 the hyper recognises that I'm using man and displays it in the titlebar.
BUT as shown at 2 (and (2)) it isn't displayed properly in the taskbar/bottom panel.
I think 'fixing' this would be really helpful for people who prefer working with multiple windows instead of tabs because if you've got 3 terminals open (e.g. Vi, Man and one for git) you get really confused. (Especially if you taskbar doesn't add the <2> like mine (KDE))
Thank you very much in advance!

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS with Hyper 2.0.0, comparing the titlebar with the taskbar or bottom panel for multiple windows. Use the linked .hyper.js configuration and inspect relevant information through the listed devtools entry point. Done means each window's taskbar title identifies its current terminal content.
