I recently updated to master and noticed the hostname was showing a number instead of my hostname in MacOS Ventura 13.1.

I moved backwards in the commit log until it started working again. Apparently, this commit is responsible:

One commit before this and it works again:

I believe it's showing the PID based on what I see in that commit. However, I don't know why.

This seems to work fine on my Debian system.

Hello @westhomas 👋

The first thing you can try is to reload the configuration with <prefix> + r
If it doesn't work, does the problem still happen when you relaunch tmux entirely? (kill all tmux processes)
If yes, can you please share tmux_conf_theme_status_left and also paste the output of tmux show -gv status-left?

Reloading the config worked! Thank you!

But I'm curious why? I stopped the tmux session and restarted it multiple times. What does a "reload" do that restarting a tmux doesn't do?

Likely you still had a tmux server process running because you had more than 1 session
