Untitled box/button in new Grafan 10.x

Hello,

I have recently upgraded to Grafana 10.x and noticed a new box/button that appears when you hover over a panel

If the panel does not have a title the box says ‘Untitled’. This is distracting and confusing for some of my users(read only accounts). I know this does not happen with Public Dashboards but they do no support template variables which almost all my dashboards use(please please add this). Is there anyway to disable this for Read-Only users or…? All ideas welcome!

Thanks,
Seth

Hi @sethlinn,

Thanks for opening this post.

I see what you mean and this due to the new design changes in the Grafana version 10.

I will try to get some feedback on this from the team.

In the meantime a workaround to not show “Untitled” is to just a spacebar character in there and then it will not appear.

I have created this GitHub issue:

github.com/grafana/grafana

[panel] "Untitled" title appears when not giving a title to a panel.

### What happened? When creating a new panel and not giving it any title. What …happens is that when hovering to that panel appears title as Untitled. This might be not a good case in some areas for user if they do not want to name a panel title on purpose. For e.g. https://community.grafana.com/t/untitled-box-button-in-new-grafan-10-x/100604 Therefore, would be good to give an option to hide this "Untitled" option or simply do not bring it on display when hovering. A temporary workaround I found was to put a spacebar character in it and it would work ### What did you expect to happen? Panel title should not say Untitled when hovering over it. Just stay blank. ### Did this work before? Changed noted in Grafana ver. 10 ### How do we reproduce it? Already defined in **What happened** ### Is the bug inside a dashboard panel? _No response_ ### Environment (with versions)? Grafana: 10 OS: NA Browser: NA ### Grafana platform? Other ### Datasource(s)? NA

Hey there, we just merged a PR that will removed the “Untitled” when a panel doesn’t have a title. You can check the PR here. It’ll be available in the next release. Thanks for bringing this up!
