Ah, excellent. The focusManager suggestion seems to do the trick. And I'll be combining it with Nick Johnston's suggestion --

Why not try storing the title using a setInterval (say every 2 seconds and if they make a change to the title it will reset the interval) rather than onKillFocus()?

Thank you both very much.
