Comment:

 Confirmed [attachment:38955.1.diff] fixes the bug reported here as well as
 other issues I've subsequently encountered with incorrect or missing type
 labels and original titles.

 I had missed the placeholder change previously. I'm not sure that this
 makes sense from a usability perspective, but am likely biased toward the
 previous behavior. Let's get [attachment:38955.1.diff] in and discuss
 whether we're okay with keeping the title as a placeholder in this week's
 design meeting (cc @karmatosed and @hugobaeta). The question is whether
 users would expect the current title of a menu item to be editable if it's
 the original title (4.6 behavior), or whether it should be displayed as a
 placeholder that's replaced entirely if you go to edit it (current 4.7
 behavior). See the attached screencast for a demonstration.
