A first take that probably overdoes it. Apply to sagenb repo.

The first take appears to work, although a very long title is visible under and beyond the "Save/Discard?" buttons.

I'm sure this is just one way to [attempt to] do it --- I'm not a CSS expert. Please feel to free to replace it. Either way, we should check that a candidate works in IE.

By the way, this patch may depend on other recent sagenb patches. Here's my current queue (ignore the version numbers):

trac_7316-sageinspect_defn.patch
trac_7318-sphinxify_confdir.patch
trac_7309-javascript-sage_v2.patch
trac_7310-modals.6.patch
trac_7332-css-escape.2.patch
trac_sagenb-7341.patch                          # Tab completion.
trac_sagenb-7346.patch                          # Vertical scrollbars.
trac_7339-sagenb_cell_bugs.patch
trac_7343-selenium-tests.4.patch
trac_7390-sagenb_test_report_A.patch
trac_7390-sagenb_test_report_B.patch
trac_7404-css_worksheet_title.patch             # This ticket!
trac_7385-renaming-published-worksheets.patch
trac_7384-sphinxify-docstrings.patch
trac_7354-jsmath_undo_revision.patch
trac_7322-jsmath_upgrade.patch
trac_7106-paren_match_doc.patch

But it's likely that several of these commute.

That's from this comment, by the way.

I should point out that I only love CSS, but am (also) not by any means an expert in it. Sorry.

REFEREE REPORT:

(1) Looking at and reading the code -- it looks good.

(2) You should always set a milestone for the ticket. It helps a *lot* in keeping tickets from getting totally lost.

(3) This patch makes all the worksheet titles in the homescreen vanish, so that's a serious bug. See  http://wstein.org/home/wstein/tmp/7404-a.png

(4) This patch also makes the top bar area look ridiculous (in my opinion) when the title is really long. See  http://wstein.org/home/wstein/tmp/7404-b.png
