Allow reading old title value [#552836]

I'm having the same bug as described here http://drupal.org/node/413678.

With the PHP stated below, the title (both when previewed and saved) only returns "ant". Here's my php code:

<?php 

  if (empty($node->nid)) {
    // When the profile gets first created,
    // use the username of the currently logged-in user
    global $user;
    return $user->name;
  } else {
    // When the profile gets edited,
    // either by the user itself or
    // an admin, use the existing title.
    return $node->title;
  }

?>

Doing a clean uninstall of version 1.2 and installing 1.0 fixes the problem.

Title:	'ant' bug happening in 1.2	» Allow reading old title value
Category:	bug	» task

Due to the way ant works, it sets "ant" as title before it autogenerates it later on. Thus it your snippet will read out "ant". What you want is to allow reading the old title value. Perhaps this would help you?
