101641 - Empty title tag is added after using the "Page Title and Properties" Window

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

Description

[TucsonTester2]

Build ID: 20010924

If you put a space in the "Page Title and Properties" Window for the title text,
then a <title></title> will be added to the HTML source.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Composer
2.Click on Format-> Page Title and Properties
3.Put a space in the title field and click ok
4.Switch to the HTML source view

Actual Results:
The title tag is inserted with nothing enclosed in it.

Expected Results:
I would expect that the title tag would not be added at all.  The other text
fields in this window have no problem handling this.  They do not add empty
tags, the title tag is the only one that enters nothing. This may be because it
is the only non-meta element in the window.

This is invalid.  Every HTML document must have a TITLE element in the HEAD
section.  We do the right thing here.

See http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#edef-TITLE

If I make a new document save it and leave the title text blank, then it won't 
ask for a title again. But, if I create the empty <title> tags in the "Page Title 
and Properties" and save it, it will ask me for the title again. 

Since what I already entered is a title (<title></title>) should it ask me to 
enter one again? If yes, why doesn't this work for other untitled (<title></
title>) documents I save?

That's a totally different issue from this bug.  I'm not exactly sure what you
mean, but please open a new bug with more precise steps to reproduce and CC me
if you like.  We can discuss that there.
