 I first encountered this issue on http://ru.forums.wordpress.org/ in
 February 2014.

 Some existing topic titles have suddenly disappeared, and new topics with
 empty titles were created almost daily, which I had to correct manually
 ever since then.

 Some examples of old topics that previously had titles:

 > Hello there. I'm a moderator of the Japanese forum
 (http://ja.forums.wordpress.org). We are occasionally seeing issues that
 topic titles disappear after opening new topics without original poster's
 intention.

 Apparently it happens when a very long Japanese text is used for a title.
 I tested with one of the titles which are actually used in the problematic
 topics, and could reproduce the issue.

 分けして表示する方法（複数カテゴリーに所属している場合）", but as you see,
 it has disappeared.

 around that time. Were there any change?

 I could not reproduce this on a clean bbPress 1.x install, so apparently
 it comes from a plugin.

 Should be fixed with the upgrade to bbPress 2.x. This ticket is just for
 tracking and reference.
