Pinned tab title not updating - due to custom tab name feature?

[GreenAsJade]

Various websites use the update of the tab title to indicate status - for example, gmail puts the number of unread emails there.

I'm finding that Vivaldi is not honouring this - its leaving the tab name unchanged.

In the attached picture the exact same page is loaded.

The upper tab was loaded when I had an unread email. I read the email in that tab, but the indicator did not change.

Then I loaded the second shown tab - the tab name is correct there.

(It is also not My Move )

I went looking for a setting relating to this - didn't find one.

I think this started being a problem after the recent introduction of custom tab names.

It's easy to see how: if you implement a name that sticks, then you're obviously ignoring browser requested changes to the tab name....

I am experiencing the same thing, and not just with pinned tabs, but all tabs.
It is quite misleading when I am using a service and move through different menus, have them open in multiple tabs and then go to a tab with a certain menu name which is not where it actually is, because the name in the tab did not get updated with the menu I left off last.

Indeed, this seems to have been introduced recently when custom tab names were introduced and I consider it to be a bug.

Same for me with Vivaldi 6.9.3447.46 (Stable channel) (arm64)
Youtube tab name (not pinned) sticks to the first video title you open and does not change when you change the video.

Same issue here: 6.9.3447.48 (Stable channel) (x86_64)
For example with Overcast.fm or local SABnzbd installation. By change of podcast, there's still an old podcast in the tab title. The download speed and remaining size aren't refreshed in days.

Same issue. I have various tab titles that are frozen to whatever I opened the tab to. For example, I have a confluence tab which is stuck as Edit - Some page even though I'm no longer updating the page. My gmail tab also shows unread messages, when there are none. This has been happening for awhile I'm kind of surprised it hasn't been addressed yet.

Same here. The tab-names get sticky all too regularly. Maybe it has partly to do with having the same page open in different tabs, just like mschuijer. I'd prefer to be able to disable custom tab names (preferably in all profiles at once).

It seems that clicking rename and erasing the contents makes the title dynamic again.
