Comment(by erikos):

 Hmmm, tricky.

 Of course the 1-second timeout opens a race when saving. But it is more
 unlikely the user will hit it than with the focus out event. I checked, I
 could not find any other signal that would help us here. Etoys waits for
 the 'enter' key to be pressed before the title is saved (which is the
 general behavior in Etoys), for the kids in my class this behavior is hard
 to get.

 In general we should try to be consistent. As we use timeouts at other
 places, we should not change behavior here. I would vote for going back to
 the timeout behavior with the fix from Aleksey and then think how we want
 to handle it in the future.
