Description
When adding a new image into a post my file name will typically be called something like:
descriptive-name-of-image.jpg
Once this image is uploaded wp will automatically set the title and will default to the name of the image "descriptive-name-of-image" if no title meta data is available in the image.
I think a better default action would be to replace the hyphens/underscores with spaces and possibly capitalising the first letter making the title "Descriptive name of image".

When someone looks into the topic of "filename to image metadata fields in the Media Library" this is closely related:
Inserting media via Gutenberg creates kebab case in media title vs. Upload New Media preserves whitespace
- In that case the filename has spaces on upload. (In your example the filename starts its lifecycle with underscores and hyphens)
- The media title then sadly gets "-" minus instead of " " space characters. (Kebab case)
- So I guess instead of writing the original filename without the extension into the media title, the filename sanitazion happens first, and then the transfer to the media title happens.
- A pity that such a minor bug takes that long to getting fixed. (I myself am no developer, but a UX designer)
Hi @mrmadhat, thanks for the suggestion. I'm surprised nobody has suggested this already, but I don't see a previous ticket.
