Describe the bug
The current real-time title update seems to only work for Firefox.

The following apps I tested does only update the title of the tab when it is clicked or loses focus.

Google Chrome Version 125.0.6422.77 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Notepad++ v8.4.5
Windows file explorer
Microsoft Edge Version 125.0.2535.51 (Official build) (64-bit)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

(optional for windows with no title bar) Right click windows taskbar > Taskbar settings > Taskbar behaviours > Combine taskbar buttons and hide label on other taskbars > Select "When taskbar is full". On a 2nd monitor, the windows taskbar now shows the title of the window.
Add the "label": "Title" option on the stackbar settings
Open any of the app mentioned above
Use the app so the title of the window changes
See bug

Expected behavior
The stackbar tab title updates the same way as the window's title changes.

Operating System

OS Name:                   Microsoft Windows 11 Pro

komorebic check Output

No KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME detected, defaulting to C:\Users\{UserName}

Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\{UserName}

Found komorebi.json; this file can be passed to the start command with the --config flag

Found C:\Users\{UserName}\.config\whkdrc; key bindings will be loaded from here when whkd is started, and you can start it automatically using the --whkd flag

Additional context
I am hoping that one fix can cover all the apps and it is not another Microsoft bug, else you could even consider turning it off so it works the same on all apps (only on click and lost focus). Thank you for adding this feature in the first place, I pray that it does not turn into a mountain of hacks.
