tab renaming doesn't work

[ridicolos]

Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

If I try to rename a tab with a normal instance of kitty nothing happens after I specify the name for the tab. If i start kitty from inside kitty it works. If I compare the diff between both Environment details I just see a difference in the path (Important environment variables seen by the kitty process)
