I think the bug reporter did mean that the "title case" is the "Capitalize
Every Word" setting located at Menu Styles, Edit Style, Font Effects, Effects,
Case.

Indeed, there are words that should not be capitalized, according to several
style guides (Chicago, APA, Ap, MLA -- they don't agree for every word that
should not be capitalized).  For example, in the Chicago Style Guide, the word
"and" should not be capitalized, so:

"you and I", when applied the "title case"/"capitalize every word" should
become "You and I" and not "You And I.

To do this kind of enhancement, LibreOffice should have a list of words to
never capitalize, for every language, when the "Capitalize Every Word" is set. 
Of course, the "Capitalize Every Word" setting should have its name changed to
"Title Case".  Of course, populating those lists should not be a priority, as
each user will follow a different rule.

I think it is a useful feature, as I myself do that manually on my paragraphs
that are formatted with heading styles.
