Description

When you do File -> Save As, the old references should be completely handed to new file. And, hence, its name on the title bar too.
Currently, old file name persists on the title bar.

Research direction

Trace the File -> Save As flow and the code that updates the title bar after the save completes. Verify how the new filename is propagated, then confirm that the title displays the new file name rather than the old one after saving under a different name.
