Bug Description

Enter title > Search for dups > None found > Continue

I expect the title to be recorded and used as the title of my idea.

What happens instead, is that I am brought to a new page with "Idea rationale: Why are you proposing this idea?" with a title that is blank.

This makes me assume my original "idea" title was saved and that I need to enter a "rationale title" - so I do.

Continue with other fields and submit.

I come to find out that my original idea title is not used - it's completely gone, in fact - and instead my "idea rationale" title is used as the main title.

This led to an almost incomprehensible bug, as the main idea was completely missing.

Check out http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/29380/ - the title as it is shown now is what I entered in as the title for my rationale about the idea - not the idea title I entered on the first page.

This is bad design - a very confusing design, at the least.
