You customized your .bashrc and changed your prompt (the PS1 variable)
yourself. That's fine. You're absolutely allowed to do that (I do it
too).
If you want the terminal title to be set to a useful value when vim exits,
then the most obvious way to do it is to change PS1 as I said in the
previous message. You could copy the code that Debian uses, or you could
write your own additional code.
I'm trying to give you the *simplest* answer that will work. Copying
a small chunk of code from Debian's /etc/skel/.bashrc file to your
~/.bashrc file is the simplest answer.
But you also seem to be determined to find out how it used to work
in stretch. I don't know how it worked in stretch. I don't use
mate-terminal, or Mate, or even a desktop environment. So I can't help
you figure out how it worked before.
All I can help you with is making it work *now*.
