Description Geert Janssens 2013-10-02 10:51:59 UTC 
This is a follow-up on bug 334939 and bug 696492.

Following three reports all have the same "Transaction Report" as report title (listed are the menu names of the reports):
- General Journal
- General Ledger
- Transaction Report

For the Transaction Report, this name obviously makes sense. For the other two less so. The problem here is that using the exact same report title for three different reports makes it more difficult to know which menu item was used to create the report. Ideally each report should have a unique title, closely matching the menu item for the report.

The following reports user "Register Report" as title, which is confusing as no such report exists:
- Account Report
- Account Report - Single Transaction

A better title would be "Account Report". It could be debated that the second report needs some suffix to indicate it's only on transaction being displayed, but that makes the title rather long.

Yes, each report should have a unique title. +1 from me.
