Removing title from a page (blank title) results in collapsed UI element in menu builder

[jafoca]

This minor issue has to do with the custom menu interface and titleless pages pages - this is handled somewhat gracefully when you initially create a titleless page using (pending) placeholder text, so I thought I would report it.

Issue preconditions

• WordPress 3.1
• Page created with title and body text
• Page added to a custom menu and saved
  

Steps to recreate

• remove title from the page from one of the "edit page" UIs
• visit the Menus interface
• you should now see a collapsed menu item in the menu creation interface (screenshot attached
  

Tested In: Chrome OSX 10.0.648.127 | Firefox OSX 3.6.13

Test results: True. UI Collapse. (Only 3.1, doesn't happen in other versions!)

set min-height for menu item title

A quick fix would be adding CSS min-height to the title (patch attached). Another direction would be outputting a default title such as (No title) to keep the title box occupied when there's nothing there.

to me it looks like as if the wrapping element is not taking care of such. Adding a default title would probably the most easy hotfix or just adding good old   to the output.
