This issue is the same as #2959 - I have supplied a working demo that shows the issue I am seeing as requested by @flovogt
OpenUI5 version: 1.80.0
Browser/version (+device/version): Chrome Version 84.0.4147.89 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Any other tested browsers/devices(OK/FAIL): None tested
Steps to reproduce the problem:
manifest.json contains the following in the sap.ui5.routing.targets section. "targets": {
...,
"suppliers": {
"type": "Component",
"usage": "suppliersComponent"
},
"categories": {
"type": "Component",
"usage": "categoriesComponent"
},
"products": {
"type": "Component",
"usage": "productsComponent",
"title": "Dummy Title"
},
...
}
Note that "products" component target has title property set to "Dummy Title" while the other component targets do not have the title property set.

Note titleChanged event has been propagated so that page title is now set to "Supplier List" from the supplier component manifest.json file.
Now refresh page while still on routing hash #/suppliers. (Might need to clear cache)

Note that titleChanged event did not propagate so the page title remains "Component Based Navigation Demo".
Now navigate to the "Products" component - the component that has the title property set in the root component manifest.json - and try the same test.
Note that page title is always updated as expected using the setting from the product component manifest.json file.
