Because 'one' is takes as the title, and 'two' as a command to execute.
> mintty -t "one two" result: no title
> mintty -t 'one two' result: no title
Works fine for me. Please note that bash's default prompt (i.e. the
PS1 variable) sets the terminal title to the current working
directory, thus overwriting anything you set with the -t option.
> mintty -t `one two` result: Same as no quotes
Because that tries to run 'one' as a command.
