There's mechanism in Nautilus that lets content views report a title to be used
for the window title (also used in the sidebar). By default this is the file
name. Browsers are supposed to use this mechanism to set the title to be the
HTML page title instead of the file name. For some reason, in Mozilla, the HTML
page title does appear in the window title and sidebar momentarily while the
page is loading, so that mechanism must be getting called. But then it is
replaced by the file name, so something is clobbering the correct one.

This may be a bug outside of Mozilla that's been around for awhile without
anyone noticing, since the only other component that uses this mechanism is our
gtkhtml browser, which has been broken for awhile.

I can't repro this bug.  Tried:

www.yahoo.com  ("Yahoo!")
www.memepool.com ("memepool.com")
http://www.sfbg.com/AandE/Music/listings.html (a bunch of junk)
www.mozilla.org ("mozilla.org")

Marking as WORKSFORME.

Re-opening. 

Reproducible with Nautilus on
<http://www.cnn.com/2001/SHOWBIZ/Movies/01/13/movieadpulled.ap/index.html>.
Works fine using same page in NS 4.75 and Mozilla M18.

Specifically, upon loading the CNN URL provided, both the window title and
Sidebar momentarily say "index.html" before displaying the actual page title.

Eli--

My understanding of the bug is that the window title is *supposed* to represent
the title of the document, and previously it was representing the title of the
file.  So, if I understand it right:

Previous behavour
	Flash "Yahoo!"
	Display "index.html"

Correct behaviour:
	Display "Yahoo!"

Current behaviour
	Flash "index.html"
	Display "Yahoo!"

I content that the current behaviour is not a bug...but if it is a bug, it
certainly isn't the one described in this bug report...

I agree with Mike that the current behavior is not the reported bug. His 
correct/previous/current analysis is right on. I would contend that the 
current behavior is a bug, but a very much less important bug than the 
previous behavior. This bug should be reclosed and probably another 
bug-to-be-immediately-deferred opened for the current behavior.

I'm sorry. I read Mike's comments backwards, and erroneously re-opened this bug
thinking it was what he was describing, when it obviously isn't.

Re-resolving. Will file a separate bug for the current behavior.

Verified fixed. 

The separate bug which I confused for this bug  now covered by bug #45655, 'Web
View briefly displays file name or "/" prior to page title'.
