I've noticed that when I switch tabs to an allmydata.org page, the title bar of my browser (firefox 2) doesn't change.. it stays stuck on whatever it was displaying from the last tab.

My immediate hunch is that maybe this Trac isn't putting a <title> tag in the head section of its html, and that firefox is thus not updating the titlebar. I could be completely wrong.

The foolscap trac (trac-0.10.3) doesn't suffer from this problem.

For what it is worth, Firefox 3 beta 5 on Mac OS X does display the new title when I switch tabs.

hm. I looked at the HTML source and there is indeed a <title> tag in there. It has a newline in it, whereas the title that I get from other Trac instances (which don't exhibit this problem) do not. I don't see anything in the config.ini which might trigger a newline, nor any template files, so I'd guess it's a trac-0.11 thing.

Eventually I'll poke around for somebody else's trac-0.11 site and see if it does the same thing.

I'm running firefox 3 now, and the title bar switches normally. So I'm closing this one.
