Typically using screen on my localhost and on all servers.
Nor tab title not window title doesnt change when using screen on localhost or on any servers (using mosh btw, not ssh)

Steps to Reproduce

run screen .

tab title & window title to resemble whats going on in a tab in screen. or at least show a hostname where its happening (if possible with mosh)

OS Version

elementary terminal uses VTE, that by itself, uses XTerm Title Escape Sequence to change the window title. The Arch Linux wiki has some instructions to set it using screen.

The tab title is always the current running directory of the shell.

thanks for the link! i was able to make window title change with the following .screenrc config lines:

backtick 1 5 5 true
termcapinfo rxvt* 'hs:ts=\E]2;:fs=\007:ds=\E]2;\007'
hardstatus string "%H (%n: %t)"
caption string '%{= kG}[%{G}%H%? %1`%?%{g}][%= %{= kw}%-w%{+b yk} %n*%t%?(%u)%? %{-}%+w %=%{g}][%{B}%d/%m/%Y %{W}%c%{g}]'
caption always

unfortunately, tab title always stays the directory name prior to running screen

As you have solved the window title issue, I have changed the description of the issue to just the tab label. It is not clear how Terminal can access the information you need to be shown, at least without very specific fixes for the screen process which is unlikely to be done. Suggestion welcome. At the moment it shows the basename of the current working directory of the shell in which screen was invoked. This is unchanged by the foreground process. The most that easily could be done is to change it to the name of the foreground process.
