I agree with you. If post has no title and it was published it is better to show it on front end as "(no title)" like it's implemented on back end.

Seems no title is looking better instead of post id. I agree with @adamsilverstein @antonrinas.
Added patch for the same.

I've just noticed this while investigating on a related Gutenberg issue and found this ticket. I still can reproduce on trunk, of course. It would be great to use (no title) instead of the ID...

Looks good to me. The ID has been output since WordPress 2.3.

@antonrinas thanks for the bug report.
I don't understand your expected result Post is shown in "Recent posts" without title. - since the recent widget is displaying titles as a list, wouldn't this be a blank list item? Users need to click whatever shows to find the post, I don't think a 'blank' link makes sense!
Showing the post id is confusing, perhaps we could instead show some placeholder text such as '(no title)' which we currently show on the post list page when a post has a blank title? What do you think?
