Hide title not working in joomla 3.2

Ok all I want is hide the article title, no big deal, right?

So here is what I have: my article title

Here are my settings in the article manager - i disabled pretty much everthing, and yes, i cleared cache:

my settings in article manager

Guess what, the title does not disappear. I am getting really tired of this bad quality. I had the same problems with the tags, they wouldn't disappear. But you can just remove all tags you have in an article to make em disappear (great solution right)

Is it joomla or is it me?

I read a weird comment about having to disable author to disable the title here

During our testing, simply setting Show Title will not hide the title. You also need to set the option Show Author to hide as well.

That was in version 3.0

EDIT I was debugging, and I saw this as implementation of C:\xampp\apps\joomla\htdocs\components\com_content\views\article\tmpl\default.php:

<?php if ($params->get('show_title') || $params->get('show_author')) : ?>
<div class="page-header">
    <h2>
        <?php if ($this->item->state == 0) : ?>
            <span class="label label-warning"><?php echo JText::_('JUNPUBLISHED'); ?></span>
        <?php endif; ?>
        <?php if ($params->get('show_title')) : ?>
            <?php if ($params->get('link_titles') && !empty($this->item->readmore_link)) : ?>
                <a href="<?php echo $this->item->readmore_link; ?>"> <?php echo $this->escape($this->item->title); ?></a>
            <?php else : ?>
                <?php echo $this->escape($this->item->title); ?>
            <?php endif; ?>
        <?php endif; ?>
    </h2>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

So a div and h2 is rendered in case author is available, should be empty when title is hidden though.

Show title is always 1, whatever I do, link_titles btw as well. The only way to disable it is going to the global configuration and setting the global configuration to Hide, whatever I am doing in the Article Manager Options tab of an article seems to have no effect (setting it to Hide, Show, Global). It seems to be fixed on 'Global'. At least with what I tested with

What I found is this (Joomla 3.2): In Menu Manager -> Edit Menu Item -> Options Set Show Title to Use Article Settings

In Article Manager - Edit Article -> Options Set Show Title to Hide.

Worked for me. Gert
