Description spage 2013-11-22 03:01:56 UTC 
Edit an existing topic's title.
Result: the 'Comment on "<topic title"' placeholder text in its textarea for a new post doesn't change.

Looks like it *does* change when you hard-refresh – I'm guessing there's not much we can do about this until we tackle our magical live-updating websockets chunk of work.

Our code already knows when the user changes the title, but the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing elsewhere in our 2300 lines of JavaScript.  The topic should trigger('onTopicTitleChanged') and the textarea can respond by updating the placeholder.  Soon edit conflict handling may trigger the same, and yes eventually the live-updating code will also trigger it. If we do it right, the future work is easier.
