AW: Windows title reduced to a single character

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hi Sarah,

One of those QCC reports was opened by me I think almost one and a half
years ago and it really is annoying that nothing happens. Selling a
professional software without a title really looks unprofessional,
especially, when minimizing to the task bar

In my case I actually experienced another issue. Not that the title was
truncated to only one char, but that the title was completely corrupted to
wired signs. My only solution was to use a title of just one single char,
which wasn't corrupted.

What it made still more complicated was, that I couldn't reproduce that bug
on none of my machines and so always had to ask other people to do testing
for me.

Perhaps we need more votings on 6235 or the owner of this thread has to
change the priority?

Thanks
Tiemo
