Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 108350

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[shadytrees]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020721
BuildID:    2002072104

When you have the Tab bar open and you click on a link which opens a new window
through a javascript function (i.e. javascript:cl(60944,3418786);), the tab
title for that web page changes to 'Untitled' instead of the real title. Mozilla
should know the difference between a javascript function that opens a new window
and one that reuses the current window. When you close the newly opened window
the tab title still remains 'Untitled'. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://www.tvguide.com/listings/
2.Fill out the zipcode, your cable provider, etc.
3.Once you arrive at the TV Listings, make the Tab bar appear (open a new tab).
4.Click on one of the TV Programs to view its description.

Actual Results:  The tab title of the http://www.tvguide.com/listings/ changed
to 'Untitled'.

Expected Results:  The tab title should have stayed the same.
