E.g. open a new tab and go to `tags://` before and after applying your patch, then compare the tab titles. This is a pre-existing issue for the window title, but by using that window title for the tab title, we inherit the issue. The old tab title handling code handled that; do you think you could update the diff to handle it for the window title too so that the tab titles re-inherit the behavior?

This seems to be added specifically by line 416-421 and then appending the fileName or '/' if it is empty, so should this code simply be removed? What information is relevant for the user in this case? Maybe just showing the URL as the user has typed it is the most sane, so in the example you provide, the window title and tab title would simply be `tags://` ? Personally I prefer this simple behavior of showing the short hand URL or the full path, depending on your settings (GeneralSettings::showFullPathInTitlebar).
  
  
  Personally I don't see what it's ever needed for; it's just noise. It's nice to show human-readable strings rather than technical jargon though. For example going to "tags://" should show "Tags", not "tags://".
