I've looked at the current behavior and it solves both problems. With Safari, the titles show up as e.g. "2021-04-21 Board Chair", "2021-04-21 Treasurer", "2021-04-21 Fundraising". Once I have many tabs open, the titles suddenly change to remove the "2021-04-21" part of the title. And in the drop-down, the tab that is open shows the full title even though the tab shows the abbreviated title. > >> I'd much prefer the title to not change from "2021-03-17".

But in Chrome, the tab title does not change regardless of how many tabs are open. And with many tabs, the only part of the title that is visible is the "2021-04-21" part. Firefox behaves like Chrome. I'm at a loss to explain why Safari seems to be smarter than the other browsers ;-) , but the different behavior would argue in favor of a preference. But I won't push for it because my browser of choice and the current agenda tool behave exactly as I like.
