Description Andreas Hoegger

The branding extension point does provide the attribute title. What is described to be the title of the application shown in Browsers headers. 
Using the BrowserHistory service the application title is changed for every entry which is added to the history. This automatism is not desired in lots of cases.

Hi Andreas, creating a browser history entry with null title should do exactly what you want:
RWT.getBrowserHistory().createEntry( entryId, null );
Does it fix your problem?

Thank you Ivan. Using 'RWT.getBrowserHistory().createEntry( entryId, null );' does not have any impact to the browsers header - perfect. But the distinction of history entries is not anymore possible. All history entries are named with the applications title. See attached img.

Andreas, unfortunately we have no control over the native browser history list. If you want to have a history list with different items (titles) you have to set the title for every entry. This is in contradiction with the subject of this bug. To my knowledge it's impossible to have both - unchangeable title and different history list entries, as they are coupled.

Andy, I will close it as INVALID as there is a possibility not to change the title. Please reopen if you disagree.

Andy, maybe it is an option for you to prefix the browser title to have something like:
* Contacts - Scout Example Application
* Customers - Scout Example Application
...
