page title appears both in title bar and below it

[Adam Dingle]

I'm running epiphany-browser 3.14.2-0ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid).

With this version of epiphany-browser, every Web page's title appears twice: once in the window's title bar, and once immediately below it. This is redundant and looks poor.

I've attached a patch with a simple fix.

This problem still occurs in Epiphany 3.16.3 on Ubuntu 15.10. The above patch works there too.

This problem still occurs in Epiphany 3.18 on Ubuntu 16.04. The above patch works there too.

In my opinion this patch makes Epiphany a lot nicer to use - I think Ubuntu should adopt it.

Adam, I believe this is fixed in epiphany 3.24 which according to the 3.23.1 NEWS entry always shows the address bar except in web app mode.

When I tested in web app mode, the titlebar shows the page title. The address bar area shows the unediatable address. Just above the address is whatever name you gave the webapp when you created it.

epiphany 3.23.5 should be available in Ubuntu 17.04 Alpha for testing in about an hour or so.
