Windows title reduced to a single character

[Chris Sheffield]

Hi Sarah,

I believe this is the workaround we used:

	set the revruntimebehaviour to 4

I honestly don't remember the details behind this. It might be documented in the bug ticket (7290 or 6343). I think this is an undocumented property, and I'm not entirely sure what the value 4 means. Sorry for being rather vague. It's also possible that this line of code came to me as a result of emailing support directly.

Anyway, hope it helps.

Chris
