Comment:

 @skierpage Thanks for submitting a ticket.

 I am not 100% for sure, but I'd say the reason why this isn't included in
 core is because of the recommended length for the "title" tag. Please see
 here.

 https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/TITLE.html

   The title should ideally be less than 64 characters in length.

 That being said, you are not out of options. There is a core filter called
 "admin_title" and you can use it to adjust this for the post screen.

 https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/admin_title/

 Here's a small snippet that I wrote on my test site. Do not use this in
 production until testing to make sure it works well for you. It will
 generate a title that looks like this.

 {{{
 <title>Edit Post: Testing ‹ example.com — WordPress</title>
 }}}

 This should work well across pages and posts. I tested using Classic
 Editor and Gutenberg.

 {{{#!php
 add_filter( 'admin_title', 'change_admin_title_posts_screen', 10, 2 );
 function change_admin_title_posts_screen( $admin_title, $title ) {
         global $post, $pagenow;
         if ( isset( $pagenow ) && 'post.php' == $pagenow ) { // Make sure
 we only change title on post.php
                 $new_title = sprintf( __( '%1$s: %2$s ‹ %3$s
 — WordPress' ),
                         $title, // Edit Post
                         $post->post_title, // Post title
                         get_bloginfo( 'name' ) // Blog title
                 );
                 return $new_title; // Return new title
         } else {
                 return $admin_title; // Sanity line to return default
 title
         }
 }
 }}}

 That is using the custom filter, you can add that snippet in a custom mu-
 plugin, plugin, or [https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics
 /child-themes/ child theme] for testing.

 I'd say if anything, this is likely an "Enhancement", not a "Bug." I could
 not replicate any difference between Classic Editor and Gutenberg in 5.6.
 Maybe others have an opinion on this?

 Hope it helps. Thanks.
