Public bug reported:

When a new text box is created, its original title goes into the
database in two places: artefact.title and block_instance.title. However
if the title is then edited, only block_instance.title gets updated;
artefact.title retains the original title.

This becomes an issue when the text box is viewed on its own, when both
titles are displayed (whereas in the page view only the updated
block_instance.title is displayed). The page owner is unable to update
the original title via the Mahara interface as it doesn't appear at all
when editing the block.

I think there are really two issues here: firstly that the title is only
updated in one place, but also that both titles are displayed when the
text box is viewed on its own. If the title has never been edited, the
same title is displayed twice, which is unnecessary.

This has been tested in Mahara 1.8.1 on Ubuntu 13.10 with a Postgres
database.
